Welcome to the third week of our Benchmark a Better You strength challenge. As we reach the midpoint of this challenge, hopefully you’re starting to see (and feel) some gains. Remember that you’ll be repeating the three benchmark tests (from Week 1) at the end of the challenge to see how much you’ve improved your balance, core, and mobility. Strength and conditioning coach Kevin Purvis has designed this Week 3 workout to keep you right on track. 

The Week 3 workout is shown below and ideally you’ll repeat this workout three times over the week. There are demonstration videos for each exercise. Exercises that are grouped together should be performed as a circuit for the prescribed number of rounds.
