Hi Everyone!
I hope you are ready for today’s workout! This is a quick workout that can be repeated to increase the intensity. I incorporated cardio bursts throughout this routine to really increase the burn. You can incorporate jump rope or high knees for your cardio bursts. Be sure to push yourself during each interval to get in maximum repetitions (with good form!)
I will be filming a new workout this evening when I get home from work. Do you find it tough to get in your workouts after working all day long? What techniques do you use to ensure you are getting your workout in?
Have fun with today’s workout! I will see you tonight!
Melissa

I would workout when I got home from work during the school year. Now that I’m a nanny in the summer I’m back being a morning workout person. Ill run in the evening.
I definitely struggle once I get home at the end of the day…I have worked out as my lunch hour since my youngest son was born almost 17 years ago…I used to also frequently run in the morning before work but now find that I have more free time in the evenings so I tend to workout immediately after work and allow myself to sleep later in the morning. If I wait until after I’m home for the day I either dread the workout or talk myself out of it and feel guilty. 🙂
Done! love this wo. + 3 km run + 7 floor stairs by foot back home feeling great!!
Hi Melissa,
I just injured my foot today, and love to follow your workouts, which is making me very upset. And I just started week 2 of your Bodyrock challenge. What exercises can I do to still have high intensity and burn calories without jumping. I’m thinking of using one leg pushups and squats with weights. What do you think?
Thanks!

I hope that you’re feeling better! Those are some great variations to keep up the intensity. Kettle Bell swings are another great alternative. Be careful and let yourself heal. If you notice that it’s taking a long time to heal, it’s best to take some full days off for recovery.
This was hard!!!! 50 secs of high knees has me breathing hard and sweating buckets. Great workout! Thanks again!!!
I try to get up early and get my workout in!
I don’t seem to be subsribed to you any more. I’m not getting your workout any more. 🙁
Hmmmm, I’m not sure why that is. I will look into it.
I workout everyday at 4 am. .. yes call me crazy! !!:) I have to be at work at 5 am so that’s the best time for me. I used to workout in the morning and evening with my husband which does not get up at 3:15 to workout at 4am with me, but it got to be too much, I was getting too many injuries so now I just stick with mornings n we just walk about 4 miles in the evening. I love this routine Melissa it’s awesome but I really like jump rope more than high knees 🙂 🙂 great job! !!! all my best .
I gotta say. This is AWESOME!!!!! I found you via Bodyrock.tv and I gotta say, I’m hooked. I have loved every one of your workouts so far. Thank You for putting it in for us everyday. see you tomorrow =)
Great cardio and combinations!
