NOW TIME FOR FIT FRIDAY WITH NICHOLE:

 This week I am coming at you with a med ball workout. I love med ball workouts because they go beyond just the single muscle(s) you are focusing on. Med balls, also referred to as weighted balls, require you to engage your core and use that powerhouse that I am talking about so often. 

This week we are coming at you with a HIIT workout using weighted balls. The key to HIIT workouts is all out effort, while also focusing on quality moves.

For this work out you have 6 moves. Each of those moves you will go for 45 seconds hard then quick 15 second breather. After completing each of the 6 moves take a 60 second breather before repeating the whole thing.
