Evaluation Workout - Back to Basics

We are once again doing things a little different this week. I find that it is important to take a step back and assess your progress every so often, and not just in physical fitness but in all areas of life. When we take a moment to look at where we're at in terms of goals and expectations it helps us move forward and continue to push for the desires of our hearts. So this week I want you to first evaluate where you are at by doing some basic exercises, record these somewhere and then in a few weeks we will do them again and you will be able to see your progress and then figure out if you are on track to meet your goals or if you need to make adjustments. It will also help you see that even when your bodies physical transformation which is manifested on the outside may be going slower than you'd like, the inner physical transformation such as, your cardiovascular system as well as your muscle strength and endurance are improving at a quick pace. Healthy bodies start from the inside and work their way out! So with that said today (MONDAY) I want you to complete the following workout. All the moves are basic but that is to make it easier to measure in terms of improvement  Tomorrow a normal video- workout 21-  will post and we will move forward from there.  Push yourself to the max with this and give it your all!
