BB Challenge workout for this week

Welcome back to the challenge, happy Monday!!!

For this week your challenge is to choose four exercises from the 20 we learned over the last four weeks and do them today, Wednesday and Friday.  My suggestion would be to start with two exercises that are done with your body on the floor (floor crunches, double leg stretches, etc) and two exercises that are done on the ball (plank, ball crunches, etc).  Work your way up to 4 sets of 10.  Try doing this workout before you do your usual cardio workout. 

Have fun!!!!
