Want to train and feel like an athlete again, but your busy life and injuries hold you back?
The 35 Minute Athlete - 45 Day Workout Challenge is a great place to feel strong and healthy again (along with extra motivation!)
Each day you will do either a workout, stretching, or mobility routine to get your body moving.
Workouts will be 35 minutes or less and are follow along style which means I will be doing the workout with you.
You will be given a warm up routine in the beginning of the video and there will be a separate video as your cool down.
Being a former athlete means injuries are unavoidable, but don't worry! There will be modifications for many exercises and tips on how to correct your form. You are in the right hands.
From someone who has suffered two fractured backs, a torn ACL, and several ankle sprains, I am still able to workout and feel GREAT using my workout and stretching routines.
