    One more note here: Start out by picking 4 moves from the library and practice them in a circuit. 3 rounds 30-45 seconds work and 15-30 rest in between exercises. I’ve received this question a lot so I’m going to make another video on how to program these moves into your workouts in several different ways. Stay tuned and thanks so much for the feedback!
