It's all about the Cardio --> June Monthly Workout Plan! 👙

Happy June! Can you believe it is summer! I just finished putting the finishing touches on my workout plan for June and I am sort of giddy about this one.  The whole month is centered around the super trainer Shaun T.  AND I have multiple options. A 10 day challenge or FULL 30 day group.

OPTION 1: The 10 day challenge is focused on a 3 day detox (i.e. cutting the crap and eating REAL food) and then jumping into 7 new workouts being released in the streaming workout portal. So in 10 days you get dialed in nutrition, focused workouts and results quick. The perfect way to kickstart your summer.

OPTION 2: 30 day challenge is a more tactical approach where we take nutrition, meal planning and workouts and break it down step by step throughout the month. We build a toolkit of resources for you to use for the rest of the year!

Oh and if you want to see my results from the first time I did Insanity (one of the featured workouts). Check them out! 

The monthly workout plan is as follows:
