Get ready to huff and puff!!! Each of the five fitness cycles will begin with a cardio exercise, some on the high step and some on the floor, but all equally challenging. You'll chase the cardio in each round with multiple upper body and lower body weight and resistance band exercises designed to build and sculpt your total body and boost your metabolism.
