As we near the end of week 2, it will become more noticeable that the rest days will start to become less frequent and the core-focused videos will repeat more frequently. Don't let that scare you. Remember that listening to your body is always most important. If you need to add extra rest days as we progress, please do. Hopefully you are starting to notice these exercises getting easier, but also maybe harder as you get better at focusing your energy into contracting specific muscles.
