Scott Gooding: I’ve saved the best sweat fest exercises for last!

What can I say, I’m super proud of you for making it to week six!

There's no doubt you feel toned, have increased vitality, and of course look amazing.

This week is arguably the toughest, my apologies. There are no exercises that allow you to "rest" so buckle-up and be prepared for a sweat fest. Remember sweat is pain leaving the body!

My tip for this week: the double unders don’t necessarily have to be consecutive so it’s fine to do singles in between. Double unders are HARD and require co-ordination and timing, so perhaps practice in between sessions. If double unders aren’t your thing, feel free to do 50 single skips

Take some time out mid session and have a quick reflection on how far you've come. Think back to week one and what you were able to do, and compare it to your killer sessions now.

Just a reminder to do as many reps as you can in the time you’ve chosen:

5 mins (beginners)
10 mins (low intermediate)
15 mins (high intermediate)
20 mins (advanced)

Enjoy week 6 and give yourself a pat on the back!
