Welcome to the fourth week of our Benchmark a Better You strength month. With the finish line just around the corner and the final benchmark tests coming up (at the end of the month), we hope you’ve been enjoying the workouts and you’re starting to reap some of the rewards. Remember that you’ll be repeating the three benchmark tests (from Week 1) at the end of the month to see how much you’ve improved your balance, core, and mobility. Strength and conditioning coach Kevin Purvis has designed this Week 4 workout to keep you right on track. 

The Week 4 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.
