- Repeat on left side, alternating 40 times
- Once I get going I really pick up the pace
3) Lateral lunges each leg. Basically step side to side in lunge position with knee in alignment with your toes. Push off each leg and have weight in your hands for that extra push. Squeeze those glutes. Pushing off foot, return to start position. Continue with same leg or alternate as prescribed.
Remember to keep head and back upright in a neutral position. Shoulders and hips should remain squared at all times.
Do this 20 times ( 10 each leg)

I usually go through this twice. But I advice to only go through once for beginners. Also everyone’s body type and goals are different. Adjust the weight you need that fits your level!
After Stretch!!!!!! Your body will tighten up if not. 
After make sure to refuel your body!!! Muscle burning and pain soon after a workout is due to a buildup of lactic acid. Your body produces lactic acid when there’s not enough oxygen to feed the muscles. IDEAS TO restore and recoup your body so you can continue transforming it and igniting the FIRE WITHIN:
Do not consume JUST PROTEIN, as in a protein shake or protein bar. Protein fills your stomach and helps build and repair muscles, but it does not refuel your muscles.Your muscles want three or four times more calories from carbs than from protein. If you like the convenience of protein shakes, at least add carbs to them. Blend in some banana, frozen berries, and etc. Keep in mind that recovery calories “count.” Many frustrated dieters complain they are not losing weight despite hard workouts. Perhaps that’s because they gobble 300 or so “recovery calories” and then go home to a hefty dinner. By organizing your training to end at mealtime, you can avoid over-indulging in recovery-calories.
