Work the Weak Areas

Day 13

Working your weak areas will boost your results

Working on our weak areas can be tough.  We’re weak so it’s hard.  But often these weak muscles have reduced our balance, endurance or ability to engage in fun things.  

So… find your weak areas and look in the Activity Map for ways to strengthen those weak areas.  You don’t have to follow the weekly training plan.  You can substitute any activity you want as long as you stay with the cardio and strength training program.  So go, see what might interest you!

You’ll love yourself for it!
