5 Exercise AMRAP – workout at home
Happy Humpday friends! Usually this is the time of week when the diets and workouts start to slide, I know this because I see and hear it every week at the gym. Honestly for me Wednesdays are fun.

New card game is a hiit!
It's important to make fitness fun and one way to do that is to turn it into a game. Enter HIIT the Game by Stack 52.

The idea is that you do short but intense workouts giving 80-90% effort in short interval workouts. Studies have shown that interval workouts like HIIT burn fat, …
