Hi Everyone!
Today’s workout is challenging! Grab a pair of dumbbells and get ready to sweat! No dumbbells? You can still do the exercises with body weight, but the dumbbells definitely increase the challenge!
This workout is focused on burning fat and sculpting your core. I really felt the burn during this workout, and I was dripping sweat by the end of it. If you want to see great results in your midsection this is a great routine to bookmark. You will work your abs from every angle, and burn fat at the same time.
Remember to warm-up before the workout, and cool down afterwards. It will help maximize your results and you will get the most out of your workout. If you aren’t sure what to do for a warm-up try this 10-Minute Jump Rope Workout.
During the High Knees exercise your biceps are engaged in an isometric exercise (the joint isn’t moving). My arms were burning, so I alternated between keeping my elbows flexed and extended.
I followed this workout with some stretching. I am focusing on improving my flexibility. I have noticed some tightness in my hips and back, and I want to keep my mobility and range of motion at it’s maximum potential.
I am filming a new workout tonight, so that should be up for tomorrow morning! Have fun!
Enjoy today’s workout!

Hi Melissa, I have been a big fan of your work outs for some time and am looking for some advice for workouts. I work for the NHS in London and am looking to incoorporate some exercise classes there. If it would be possible to contact you in any way, please let me know. Thanks, Inke
