Hi Everyone!
I am planning to film a brand new workout today, but in the mean time I wanted to share this workout that I filmed back in September. This one is from just before I got pregnant & it is a great full body HIIT Cardio Fat Burner. You don’t need any equipment, and you will work everything!
The full length video and photo breakdowns of today’s workout are below.
I haven’t gotten in my workout yet today, but I will! I have challenged myself to go up/down my stairs 10X per hour today until I get my workout done. It’s an easy way to get in some exercise while I get stuff taken care of around the house.

Non-fitness related, but fun: My latest #StitchFix came in! They offer maternity clothes, but I requested to continue getting regular clothes instead so I can keep wearing them after my pregnancy. My stylist, Deena Green, has done an awesome job at picking items that will fit during and after pregnancy.
If you want to try the service this is my referral link: https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/5752949 You can request my stylist in the comments if you want to! I am not affiliated with the company at all, but they offer referral bonuses to any of their users (a $25 product credit). I have been using the service since September, and have LOVED everything I received!
Are you guys interested in seeing more lifestyle related posts in addition to workouts? This would include more recipes, fashion, body image, my transition to being a new mom…my focus would still be fitness, but I would be sharing more of my personal experiences and lifestyle. Let me know what you think!
I hope you enjoy today’s workout!
Melissa
