You’re at the Finish Line! Here’s Week 4 of Our Barry’s Workout Challenge
Three weeks of workouts with just three rest days. That’s what you’ve conquered during our Barry’s fitness challenge so far – and that’s pretty impressive. Now, you’ve just got one week of tough HIIT workouts inspired by Barry’s signature studio format left to conquer. You’ve made it this far – might as well finish out strong! Like the previous weeks, each day outlines the equipment you will need, including a resistance band, a mini band, dumbbells, a sand ball, or just your own bodyweight.
Just starting the challenge? Catch up on weeks one, two, and three before you dive into the final week of workouts. You’ve got this!
