Your Number One Job is…

To take care of yourself. You can easily do that this holiday season by committing to five days a week for just 20 minutes a day and start taking care of yourself like it's your JOB.


You’ll devote three days to strength training. Jennifer knows the best jobs keep you challenged, so each strength workout features a different structure to keep your muscles guessing and your mind engaged


You’ll also have one day of endurance cardio and one day of HIIT to help you dial in the fat burn.


As a bonus, Job 1 also includes four 20-minute cycling workouts—a first for any Beachbody program. They’re totally optional, but if you have a stationary bike at home, you can choose to do these workouts on your cardio days to add variety to your routine.
