Welcome to weekly workout number 12. As we gear up for finals it’s really important to remember to take a break from the studying and get some exercise.
Exercise is a great way to reduce stress and help clear your mind. When your stress level is low and you have a clear mind, it makes study a lot easier. As usual, warmup with 15 minutes of cardio and cool down with 15 minutes of cardio. I hope everyone enjoys this workout, as it targets your chest and abdominal regions.
