Summary

In this episode of Embrace Your Real, we are going to chat about instructor-led workouts vs. "go at your own pace" workouts. We are going to dive into the pro's and con's of each to help you decide which option makes the most sense for you.
 
Instructor-led workouts could be riding your peloton, going to Orange Theory, or turning on a Beach Body workout like Insanity or doing P90X on your laptop, just any workout where an instructor is leading you through the workout and you are following their lead through the entire workout.
 
On the flip side, a "go at your own pace" workout is one where you have a plan for what the workout is, and you may even have video tutorials of what the exercises are, but you perform the workout at your own speed and are not following along to a video.
 
Both have their pro's and con's, it just depends on what makes most sense for you and that's what we are going to figure out in this episode. By the end, you will have a clear idea of what workout style best fits your needs.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Embrace Real Podcast. I am so

0:35.6

excited about today's episode. Today we're going to be chatting all about instructor-led workouts versus go-at-your-own pace workouts. We're going to dive

option would make most sense for you.

workout is and you might even have video tutorials of what the exercises are
