July Fitness Challenge: Week 1!

During this challenge I will be posting the circuits, cardio, exercises, etc. weekly. and everything will be using bodyweight. That means no equipment needed!

I have progressed in my career but I have also progressed in my personal life as well. I have finally hit my goal weight since getting off my birth control and getting the Paragard.
