HEATWAVE HUSTLE by Ashley Horner
Heatwave Hustle is not your average fitness challenge. This is four weeks of fire, grit, and transformation. Designed for those ready to sweat, push limits, and show up hard, this program blends the intensity of high-octane cardio with body-sculpting functional strength. You’ll hit every muscle group, burn fat, and unlock your mental edge—one rep at a time. Each week includes five structured workouts that progressively build your endurance, strength, and mental toughness through a combination of: Tabata Intervals (explosive 20/10 sprints) HIIT Circuits (full-body intensity) AMRAPs & EMOMs (grit-based formats that push performance) Every week carries a mindset theme to keep your mental game as sharp as your physical one. WEEKLY FOCUS: Week 1 – “You Can Do Hard Things”: Build discipline. Show up. Get uncomfortable. Week 2 – “Stillness Within the Fire”: Learn to breathe through the burn & stay present under pressure. Week 3 – “Embrace the Edge”: Push past limits & lean into the challenge. Week 4 – “Finish With Fire”: End strong. This is where transformation happens. Expect a mix of: Bodyweight Burners Dumbbell Domination Kettlebell Conditioning Core Punishers Benchmark Gauntlets to test your grit and track your progress GOALS: 🔥 Torch body fat 💪 Sculpt lean muscle 🧠 Build mental toughness 🏋️ Improve conditioning and performance ✅ Finish the month feeling unshakable, strong, and focused 💥 BONUS ADD-ON: HELLSTEEL Strength Cycle Want to keep or build lean muscle mass while shredding?
