STRONGER Challenge Motivation Day 3: This Workout Will Make You Feel Younger
A one-minute motivation video for the STRONGER SOLDIER full-body workout from trainer Nicky Holender.
Even if you don't necessarily want to be younger (junior high was rough enough one time through), chances are you'd jump at the chance to feel younger. And that's what's so great about the workout for day three of the 8-week STRONGER Challenge.
If you're joining us, press "play" to watch this one-minute motivation video message from celebrity trainer Nicky Holender about how the 36-minute SOLDIER workout will make you feel younger.
Have you ever seen little kids run around on the playground or a soccer field? Or maybe you've raised a few kids through the toddler phase (congrats, by the way). Nicky is a father of three, so he knows first-hand just how much energy kids have. That's also why he knows their secret — they play!
When was the last time you played tag or basketball? When was the last time you enjoyed your workout? If it's been a while, give the Soldier workout a go. Don't worry about getting all the moves right; just let loose and have fun. Before you know it, the workout will be finished, you'll be stronger and hopefully, you'll feel a little younger, too!
