30 Minute Cardio And Strength Training For Busy Moms
Because we all want great bodies
Busy mom’s perfect and quick 30 minutes cardio and strength training. That is how long it takes you to perform it. Ideal on the treadmill but you can do your intervals just anywhere. Instead of treadmill run outdoor, uphill, have fun with speed and intensity.
I have designed this program specially for one of my students and because it is very easy to follow I decided to share it.
Just to let you know just after two weeks she said: “Been doing your 30 min gym programme and already see the benefits!- guns and leaner thighs coming my way!-your awesome thank u!”
