Get Ready to Sweat! Here’s Week 2 of Our Barry’s Workout Challenge

One reason we love group fitness classes? It’s so refreshing to be able to just show up, lace up your sneakers, and follow whatever instructions the instructor gives you. There’s no need to plan a personalized workout routine, and it’s much easier to stay motivated when you’re not the one giving the orders.

Still, nothing beats the convenience of working out whenever you want, wherever you want. In that spirit, we’ve partnered with Barry’s to share four weeks of its signature HIIT workouts, so you can get your sweat on if you can’t make it to your local studio. Even if you plan to work out in the comfort of your own home, you can still get your own fitness fam going – just challenge your friends to try the four-week workout plan, too!

Read on for the second week of workouts that will target everything from your abs to your booty. Each day outlines the equipment you will need, including a resistance band, a mini band, dumbbells, a sand ball, or just your own bodyweight. And if you missed week one, you can catch up on those routines here.
