Every Wednesday in January we are posting a Would You Rather Wednesday workout video! Each video has a specific theme; for instance, today's video is Sweet vs Savory. You will be given two options on screen, a sweet option on the left and a savory option on the right. You have 4 seconds to make your decision. The next thing you see will be two exercises. One person will be doing exercises on the left side of the screen and the other person will be doing different exercises on the right side of the screen. If you chose the sweet option on the left, you will do the exercise on the left and vice versa. We recommend you watch the video all the way through, writing down your workout as it is revealed before you start.

Today, you will be given 5 exercises. Do each exercise for 1 minute with no rest. You will do 5 full minutes of work, then rest 1 minute. Go through as many times as desired.

These exercises can be scaled up or down by adding more or less equiment. Enjoy!
