Whoohoo!! we’ve made it to Day 3!!!
You are doing great!! I realize that you may be a little tired but take comfort that day 5 is a rest day!! So let’s keep pushing until then!! You CAN DO IT!!
Today’s workout is a circuit style lifting workout. What that means is to do a set the first exercise, then the next, then the next, etc…until the entire list of exercises is complete- then REPEAT the entire series for the allotted sets.
For this specific workout we are focusing on “auxiliary” lifts- different exercises than we did on day 1 that will “hit” our muscles a little differently. The mover are mostly for smaller muscle groups than BASIC moves, thus termed Auxillary.

NO Carbonation!
Carbonation throws our entire body’s pH balance off- eliminating it will help you eliminate toxins from your system and allow your body to function in a less stressed state. Less stress=more results!
