You’re Halfway Through! Here’s Week 3 of Our Barry’s Workout Challenge

There’s nothing like a good HIIT routine to get the muscles pumping and the blood flowing, but coming up with your own workout plan can be overwhelming, to say the least. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Barry’s to put together a four-week fitness challenge filled with its famously tough HIIT workouts. Each week packs in the power moves you can expect from a signature Barry’s class, but with the flexibility to work out wherever you’d like. Each day outlines the equipment you will need, including a resistance band, a mini band, dumbbells, a sand ball, or just your own bodyweight.

If you’ve been working out with us for the past two weeks, you’re probably a little sore and a little excited to see what week three has in store. New to the challenge? Catch up on weeks one and two before you dive into this week’s workouts. Let’s do this!
