Hi Everyone!
I have a great, and challenging throw-back workout for you. I am out of breath throughout the entire video! Push yourself for maximum repetitions during this workout. This is a major throwback, so we have change a lot of the way we film now, but let me know what you think of hearing me call out and share my number of repetitions for each exercise.
Was it motivating or distracting? Do you like to keep track of your reps during HIIT workouts? I actually like it, because when I repeat the workout for round 2, or even on a totally different day, it gives me something to aim for. I always try and “beat” my reps from the last time I did the workout.
I am thinking that I want to re-challenge myself to this workout post-pregnancy when I can really give it my all. I am interested to see how my body handles this one now.
Tonight Jesse and I went to another Spin (Cycling) Class. I am really enjoying it, and Jesse’s running endurance definitely translates to the bike. His push during class is insane! He got in 17.8-miles during a 45-minute class, I got in 12.8. It was the first real workout I got in since my battle with the Norovirus this weekend. It felt great to workout!
Jesse stretching before class. Tonight’s theme: Music & Music Videos from 1996.
Tomorrow evening I have my 32-Week Pregnancy Check-up. The video below is a little peek into how active Baby Bender is. I am convinced he is doing Burpees in there! We will be filming some new workouts this week & I will be posting another weekly pregnancy update.
I hope you enjoy today’s workout! Have fun with it! Push yourself! Don’t be afraid to breath hard and work up a sweat. The challenge makes you stronger!
See you soon,
Melissa
