End of Summer 4x4 HIIT Workout
During these last summer days when the weather is still gorgeously beautiful + balmy, get outside for a 20 minute 4x4 workout! Do these 4 toning + strengthening exercises for 1 minute each for a total of 4 rounds, capping off your HIIT sesh with a bonus round of push-ups. Remember to cool down with some yummy yoga stretches + then mix up a superfood smoothie that also includes a spoonful of Vital Proteins Collagen! Making collagen a part of your diet is SO important for keeping your joints flexible, comfortable, and healthy – especially if you're doing a lot of strenuous workouts.
