It might be somewhat of a mouthful but put simply Workout Wednesday, our weekly HIIT training live stream has returned at a brand new time and with plenty of exciting new content for the off-season.
What’s new with Workout Wednesday?
To beat the winter blues and the steadily encroaching evenings Workout Wednesday has moved to a brand new lunchtime slot of 12:30pm.
When midday rolls around, in offices and work places across the country most people can be found frozen in front of their screen, mindlessly eating and refreshing social media (or you know…working).
We’re giving you the perfect motivation to get up and get moving as the #MadetoMove ambassadors take you through 15-20 minute HIIT workouts, some of which will even utilise the office around you.
Requested by Mudders
After asking Mudders what they wanted to target we’ll have workouts covering core, stamina and grip strength – everything you’ll need to smash a Tough Mudder course in 2018.
And if just can’t pull yourself away from your desk? All the videos and workouts will be posted on this page, so bookmark it and come back later.
