Hi Everyone!
Today’s workout is tough! Warm-up, grab some dumbbells, and get ready to sweat! This workout will work your core from every angle for a great sculpt, and includes high intensity fat burning at the same time. This is a great workout to bookmark for quick results.
During the High Knees Exercise your biceps are engaged in an isometric exercise (the joint isn’t moving, and your muscle length remains the same throughout the movement). My arms were burning like crazy from the challenge so I alternated between keeping my elbows flexed and extended.
Even though this workout is focused on the core, you are still getting full body benefits, and an all over fat burn. After completing the workout be sure to do a cool down and some gentle stretching.
Non-Fitness related: This weekend Jesse and I are in New York for my Uncle Dave’s memorial service. He passed away unexpectedly, and I miss him every day. He always shared my workouts and supported me. He called me the next Jack Lalanne. Every day he went above and beyond what he had to do to be kind to others. When I was leaving his house one day it was raining. He offered me an umbrella and I declined because I was leaving the state and wouldn’t be seeing him soon to return in. He explained that he always bought extra umbrellas so that any time someone left his house in the rain they could stay dry. In honor of my Uncle’s kindness I am encouraging everyone to go the extra mile with kindness, with no expectation of return. In those acts of kindness I know my Uncle’s legacy lives on.
Thank you everyone.
Have fun with this workout!
Melissa
