Workouts That Will Push You to the Next Level

All of that hustle is paying off!

Welcome to the intermediate club! If you’ve been logging beginner-focused workouts regularly, try Coach Jessica’s “Beginner No More” class. This workout is a great way to transition to the next level up, and it’s part of the new batch of classes released on Aaptiv this week.

Also on tap for your week of workouts includes an amazing strength workout with Coach Kelly called Push-Ups+. This class focuses on strengthening the muscles of your upper body featuring fun variations of the classic push-up exercise. Then, log some cardio with Coach Jaime’s Team Body Band Cardio elliptical workout featuring hits from your favorite (current and past) boy bands.

Lastly, get out there and enjoy the great outdoors with a brand new boot camp class from Amanda that was made for your local park, beach, or your own backyard.
