Tuesday QuickFit Workout Breakdown

I subbed my final QuickFit class for my sweet friend, Jennifer.  Oh, how I will miss this group of people!  I got on YouTube yesterday and researched a bunch of new exercises to incorporate into this workout (sets of 4 cardio/ strength stations).  Some of the stuff was wacky and tough to tackle, but this group picked most of it up without a problem...and the key to getting through this one was using the modification of each exercise where and when necessary.  Above all else, maintain proper form throughout this workout...slow down, turn to the modified version of the exercise; do whatever is necessary for you to do the exercises correctly and safely.  Good luck!
