Fearless Faith Fitness

Coach
Morgan Guajardo

This is the seconds mesocycle (phase) out of three 6 week phases. It is designed to target the glutes & back. It is a very balanced program  which incorporates a balanced mix of cardio, lower body, upper body,  and rest days. Special attention is given to working the glutes &  back in both shortened and lengthened positions.

This program includes 4 strength training days/week & 1 optional cardio day. It  also includes 2 optional short HIIT sessions at the end of the workout.  With rest days built in for optimal recovery & muscle growth.

I highly recommend finishing phase 1 before starting this phase as this phase builds off the first phase.
