Week 1 alternate workouts for Jessica Smith Phase 3 – Walk Strong 2.0 calendar #SummerofStrength

If you have been following my blog, you will know I’m a BIG FAN of Jessica Smith workout dvds and her free YouTube workouts!

I will be following her 6 week Walk Strong 2.0 countdown plan starting Monday July 11, 2016. She had 4 new DVDs that released on June 28, 2016 from Amazon. If you don’t have the DVDs right now, you can still follow along with the challenge by following the suggested schedule below.

Or if you want more than a 30 minute workout, you can do my suggested schedule along with the original 2.0 calendar to get a 60 minute workout.

I went thru the Walk Strong 2.0 calendar week by week to then find alternate free Jessica Smith TV YouTube workouts that were similar in style and time length. Each alternate workout suggestion is either cardio or strength exactly like the calendar suggests, and is within 5 minutes more or less of the suggested time.

These are suggestions for an alternate Walking Strong 2.0 Phase 3 calendar if you don’t have the DVDs listed on the calendar. I made up these suggestions entirely on my own and I hope you will find them useful! If you do, please recommend my blog and these posts to others so they can join the fitness challenge.
