Hi Everyone,
This was part of my workout last night. I had a fun workout planned for today, but unfortunately I have to delay it until tomorrow. I did get in a 3.5 mile run outside today. It was in the high 40s here, and there was sunshine, so I had to take advantage of the weather.
Sunshine makes me feel more appreciative of running outside. Also, it was nice not to have to run through 6-7 inches of snow. Most of my run was done on solid ground!
For this workout I utilized weights. It was nice to change the type of challenge I was engaging in for my workout. Yesterday I also shared Josh’s first workout video: Fitness Transformation: Workout 2
Josh did a really great job, and I gave him a new workout to do today, which I will be sharing later.
Enjoy the workout,
Melissa

I workout from home, love all your workouts. Thank you for putting this very well presented. You are doing an awesome job!!!
Thank you! 🙂 I love doing it, and it’s great to know it’s appreciated and useful to others!
I’ve done curtsy lunges but never with a twist! Thanks for the variation!
You’re welcome! 😀
You should clean and press the barbell up and over your head and onto your back. It’s much safer than what you tried to do. Plus it gives you momentum to get the heavier weight up and over your head. Here’s a link to show you what I am talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_OGoQ94mPQ
Melissa, I am doing your first month of Bikini w/o and this one and the fitness transformation #2 is on todays list, but both w/o say to run extra.. do I add both or just the two workouts or the two workouts plus 20 minute of cardio? Thanks for the tip. Theresa
Great question, Theresa! I was curious about the same thing 🙂 Thanks for all that you do, Melissa!
I have the same question too – how much to run in addition to the 2 workouts you have posted.
Hello Melissa i just did the Booty Bump Workout and fell great! Thank you for all that you do! I am following your workouts and have results! I was happy and surprising to see that you have a excercise called Bulgarian Split Squat. How do you know about it? I am asking you because I’m bulgarian, and was nice to me. 🙂
Melissa, how heavy is your barbell?
Melisa …. I only have to say one thing: GOD BLESS YOU! You look such an amazing person. I hope the best for you and thank you very much for helping us! Thanks thanks thanks and again: GOD BLESS YOU.
I did this workout 2 days ago and my booty was so sore as well as my hamstrimgs. It was so hard going to the restroom afterwards. Haha! I did the advanced level. It was hard balancing with the weights but I did it!
Hi Melissa! just wondering what you would recommend to use for weights if you do not have the bar bell?
You can use dumbbells instead of the barbell. Some people use a sandbag, but typically dumbbells are the less expensive option. 🙂
Would love for you to do more dumbell workouts!!!
