Hi Everyone!
This was my workout last night. I followed it up with 2 miles on the treadmill, which took me 14 minutes, and 30 seconds to complete. I did the first mile at a 7.5 min/mile pace, and then sped up the second mile. It felt great to do a short, but quick run. It was also a good reminder to me that getting in some cardio doesn’t have to take a long time. Jump Roping, or running can be a quick addition of cardio to any workout.
When I first started running I focused on time instead of mileage. My first goal was to be able to run for 20 minutes without stopping to walk. If you have never run before it’s a good way to build, and it also let’s you track your progress, as you get closer and closer to your goal. 
It is important to maintain balance in your body, and strengthen all of your muscles. Often, people will train one “problem” muscle group to the exclusion of others. It is far more effective to train your entire body, as the increased muscle and strength will improve your metabolism, fat burning, and the overall look of your body. Focus on your overall fitness and the aesthetic results will follow. I feel strongly that your body shouldn’t just look good, it should be strong, capable, and functional.
Enjoy the workout, and have a great day. I will see you later with today’s workout. 🙂
Melissa
