Hi Everyone!
It’s workout time! Today’s workout will take 30-Minutes Per Round. It is a full body workout & fat burn. This routine has built in cardio bursts and exercises to work your body from every angle to maximize your results & workout efficiency.
Grab a dumbbell and a chair or bench and you are ready to go! Don’t have a dumbbell? You can do this workout with body weight only, but adding resistance will increase the challenge and help speed up your results.
This is a great way to start off your workout week! Are you ready? Let me know what you think and how you’re feeling after the workout in the comments below or on Instagram (@BenderFitness) or Facebook: www.facebook.com/MelissaBenderFitness.
I am off to work! I am hoping to have better energy this week. I am almost 34 weeks pregnant, and had a stomach virus at the end of last week so I have been really tired all weekend. As long as my work day doesn’t wear me out to much I will be filming a new workout this evening.
Have fun today & work up a good sweat!
Melissa

Thanks, Melissa! That was a tough one!
I loved this one!! Paired it with day 16 of the ab challenge that I started this month as well. I am getting a lot stronger because even these tough workouts are not feeling as miserable as they used to!! Hope you are feeling well 🙂
Thank you Melissa. I have been doing your workouts every night for 3 weeks leading up to my army PT test and I improved all of my scores by more than 15 points today. Then I came home and did this workout. You inspire me every time I do a workout. I had twins 3 years ago and have had a hard time regaining fitness for lack of time, injuries, abdominal separation. Your workouts and philosophy has really helped me push through many of those obstacles. It is so inspiring to me to see how you are dealing with pregnancy. Maybe you will do some special workouts for safe and effective post pardom abdominal work to help close the abdominal separation. Thank you for everything you do
I’m so happy you re posted this one! I have never seen it before. It is amazing. I booked marked it. I love the windshield wiper dips.
I did 2 rounds today and will try tomorrow as well.
That work out crept up on me!! Thank you thank you, I am absolutely spent and have no idea how you can talk throughout that workout. The planks really burnt in the right places…all good burn!! Thanks Melissa, you’re my inspiration!
So sweaty! My only complaint is that I have to wash my hair more often than I’d like due to being so sweaty!
