This workout is not designed for the faint of heart. It is recommended for more advanced individuals, however it can be modified for beginners. It is high intensity, short duration and is sure to burn calories post work out. This is also more than just a physical workout—you will be working your mind and spirit as well. When all three are activated, the results you will produce in your life will be faster and more efficient.When doing this workout, make sure to set your intention—get clear about the result you would like to achieve in any area of your life. For example: career = prosperity; relationship = fun and play; health and well being = strength and vitality. Write your intention down so that you can see it somewhere while working out. Keep a notepad and pen nearby so you can easily take notes, and write down any ideas that you get about your intention. Hold the idea throughout your workout and visualize what you would like to experience in that particular area of your life. Get a clear picture in your mind’s eye and be sure to connect to the feeling you are having while connecting to the intention. Now you are stimulating your mind while working your body.

Think of one thing in your life you are most grateful for and give thanks to that. Now think of another and then one more. Notice how you are feeling now.
