Lesson Overview

Week 2 in the Endurance Track focuses on staying calm under longer effort.

Today’s session builds directly on Week 1 by extending circuit volume slightly while reinforcing steady breathing, posture, and pacing. The goal is to move continuously without panic or rush.

You should feel challenged, not overwhelmed.
