Sweaty Saturday - slightly more conditioning than the usual workouts

We did this workout in my class last Saturday. The beauty of this workout is, it's designed to where you can still use relatively heavier weights due to the time interval being only 20 seconds per exercise. Give this workout a try and let me know what you think.

Set your timer for 20 seconds.
Go through the following exercise and only break 20 seconds when you need to transition to the next exercise for both sequences.
Sequence #1

SWING
FLOOR PRESS (less strong side)
FLOOR PRESS (stronger side)
GOBLET SQUAT
FRONT LUNGE (less strong side)
FRONT LUNGE (stronger side)
H2H SWING

Repeat 3-4 Rounds

Sequence #2

PULL UPS OR ROWS
SNATCH (less strong side)
SNATCH (stronger side)
BACK LUNGE
BACK LUNGE

Repeat 3-4 Rounds

Cool down

Plank Holds
Side Planks

I don't claim to be a medical expert but not only have I successfully healed my C-section, my abdominals are no longer numb, and I've successfully helped others who've had multiple C-sections (even some 20 years ago) find their core aga

Let's Talk About Butts (Butt "on" Workouts)

To lift or not to lift, that is the question. Despite the popular sayings, "Strong is the new Skinny" or "Strong is the New Sexy," there is still a large portion of the female population that will shy away from lifting solely due to their fear of bulking up or building too much muscle. I'm not going to tell you that heavy weights won't help build muscle and I'm not going to deny the fact that some women can build muscle easier than others. Let's start with the photo below.
