Your Weekly Workout with Sarah and Rachel- Week 12

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SAU chapter.

It’s finally April, collegiettes- which means it’s time to start doing some full-out cardio. This week – running!

Get those legs ready, because next week is biking and ending with two weeks of a mixture between the two. Take care of those legs! Stretch out a lot because you’re going to be sore!

It’s getting hot out, so make sure you’re drinking a lot of water throughout the day and after your workout!

Enjoy!
