Focus & Benefits

  • Muscular Endurance: High-rep exercises like squats and lunges build stamina in major muscle groups.

  • Cardiovascular Fitness: Mountain climbers and jump squats boost heart rate and burn calories (~300-400 kcal).

  • Functional Strength: Kettlebell marches and plank holds improve core stability and posture.

Pro Tip: Mindful Movement Focus on proper form and engage your core during each exercise. Mindfulness in movement can enhance muscle activation and reduce injury risk by up to 30% (Source: Sports Science Journal). Additionally, prioritize a consistent sleep schedule this week to support muscle recovery and boost metabolism. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night.
