Hi Everyone!
I hope you’ve been enjoying the workout week so far! If you need a rest day, you can take one today, and pick up with today’s workouts tomorrow. If you are still feeling good and ready to get in another workout I have a good combo for you today!
This is our week’s workouts so far:
Sunday: Abs-olutely Swimsuit Ready Core Workout & At Home Body Tone
Monday: Butt Shaper Workout
Tuesday: Jump & Tone Boot Camp
Wednesday: That’s today! Arms & Back/Power Yoga Fitness Fusion
Today’s combo includes an arm/back workout. I also posted a link to my Building to a Pull-up video. Pull-ups are one of the best exercises you can do for your back. If you have access to a pull-up bar I definitely recommend trying it.
The second workout today is a Yoga Fitness Fusion. It is a variation of regular Sun Salutations that incorporates dumbbells for an added full body challenge. It’s different from our regular workouts, but I think you will like it!
I filmed a new quick Thigh & Butt Workout last night. I will work on getting that posted this evening. For all my US friends I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving tomorrow!
Have fun with today’s workouts! Let me know what you think!

How to Build to a Pull-Up Article
I am just starting to work on chin ups and can barely do just 1. What is your opinion about doing the machine-assisted chin ups and dips until you get strong enough to do them on your own?
The machine assisted option is fantastic! You can use it to build strength and progress the amount of your own weight that you are lifting. Keep challenging yourself & doing a little bit more at a time. You will be there before you know it!
