Week 1 | Day 2

Drill Day

Time: 15-30 minutes.
“Improved performance is the proper goal.” — Matt Fitzgerald

Today is day 1 of your 30-day journey towards feeling great, running strong, and staying healthy. You made your first step and often times that’s the hardest part. So congratulations!

Today will be a nice drill focused workout. Think about how long it takes for you to order a coffee on a busy Monday morning and then subtract a few minutes. That’s about the same amount of time it takes to finish this workout. Good luck and remember, enjoy it!
