This week’s schedule eases you into the world of Athletic Movement –– an all-levels, practice-anywhere program that combines HIIT-based training with an athletic twist. High-intensity interval training can boost your endurance and your overall health, as well as build discipline and mental and physical toughness. Take it slow as you learn these new exercises; it’s all about quality over quantity. Athletic Movement teacher Dom Termansen advises you to “find a starting point and from there take it real slow. Day by day, you’ll get better and better!”

Creativity Bonus
Read and reflect on the following excerpt from Dom’s article The Athlete & The Artist on our online magazine:
“Art and sport, it’s all about creative expression. You can create something completely new every day. Just by doing something slightly differently. Using a different color, backpedaling with more quad or glute, whatever it is.”
Your creativity bonus for this week is to do one thing different in your daily routine. Take a different route on your daily walk, try a new recipe for dinner, or move while the coffee brews. Think about how you can creatively express yourself in one small way each day.
