Hi Everyone!
Tonight’s workout is an intense 20 minute interval workout. I broke this one up into four 5-minute rounds. Keep rest minimal between rounds, but be sure to listen to you body. It helps to have some water handy. I was dripping sweat like crazy during this workout!
This is one that I will definitely be repeating. 🙂 It’s a really great full body routine, with lots of compound movements to maximize fat burning and body sculpting all at one time.
I followed this workout by running a few easy paced miles. I am running my first half marathon on Saturday, so I am tapering back my mileage a bit this week so I will be rested.
My sister gave birth to a gorgeous baby girl yesterday. I was tired all day from the excitement (and staying up all night Saturday just in case the baby was born!) I am glad I made the effort to get in a hard workout today, because my energy was so much better afterward.
Now I am off to bed. Sleep is imperative to maximizing your health and fitness. Don’t skimp! 🙂
Melissa
