Looking for a good workout to do this weekend? Here is a sample workout that my intermediate group from the 40-Day Shape Up is doing right now.

Every workout has three levels: beginning, intermediate and advanced. All of the workouts are done on specific intervals, which helps to a) break up the workout...it's more fun, b) burn fat, and c) improve lung capacity. Who wouldn't love that?

Give this sample workout a shot and let me know what you think!

CARDIO PORTION

Warm up doing any form of cardio for 5 min.

2 min tempo run; 1 min walk
