“The Big Dance” has arrived and with it the opportunity to become a Champion… of Fitness, of course!

The Selection List:

  1. Pushups (kneeling or standard)
  2. Wide-Stance Squat with Overhead Press
  3. Dumbbell Bent Over Row
  4. Hamstring Hip Lifts on ball
  5. Forearm Plank Hold
  6. Walking Lunges

Each round combines various movements that made The Selection List above to create four awesome workouts, each growing progressively more challenging… Just like a Tournament!

Try a new one each week and see if you have what it takes to make it to the Championship round!
