Workout To The XTREME!

XTREME is one of the hottest, most popular workouts my club offers. Why is it soooo incredibly AWESOME?!? Well, not only does it "hurt soooo good," it also burns a crazy amount of calories. My client, who shall not be named, burned 840 calories in my class last week! Boohya!! 

XTREME, a metabolic circuit style workout, incorporates plyometrics and strength drills to speed up fat loss and athletic performance. So far, my clients LOVE it! Or...they HATE it...don't think there's much difference when it comes to XTREME! haha! (I'm used to the love/hate relationship in training. Means I'm doing my job:)) You're either IN or OUT. You decide.... The choice is yours. But, if you're going to go for it. Go in ALL THE WAY!!!

Anyhoo, before attempting to do this workout, understand that it is going to be wickedly fun...stress on the "wicked." And remember, fun is relative; but for me? Well, let's just say that when I took Molly's XTREME class last weekend it felt like Christmas morning!! Really. I know.... I'm sick. haha! Still. Keepin' it real.
