Fit Queen Challenge workout schedule anitaherbert.com before you start I recommend that you download an interval timer for your phone for when you require one (eg Metabolic Finishers) - I use an app called ‘SIT’. It’s free and really easy to use! Please download a photo collage app to compare your start images with your final and/or halfway images. I like to use "Layout". I have built an incredible community with thousands of women so please join the “FitQueen Community” Group on Facebook. It’s a great place for discussion topics, asking questions and general support from people on the same journey as you! M a k e s u r e y o u t a g m e Please download the vimeo app s o I s e e I have included links to Vimeo albums with video y o u r p o s t s ! examples of your workouts to assist you.

For example, A1 & A2 (A1, A2, A3 ETC.) should be completed together before resting. How many times you are to complete the exercises. For example, set A (A1 & A2) should each be completed the specified amount of times through (e.g 3 times) before Sets moving onto set B (B1 & B2). Sets with the same letters (eg A1 & A2) are called SUPERSETS (SS). Move quickly from one exercise to the other without taking a break. The amount of times you complete each specific Reps exercise.
