Hi Everyone!
It’s that time again…Workout Time! Today’s workout is only 15-Minutes. It is Low Impact, but very effective. I also posted the full playlist to my Booty Sculpt Challenge Move of the Day below. It includes all 12-moves we have done so far.
It has come to my attention that some people are having trouble accessing the page I made for the move of the day. I haven’t figured out what the issue is (yet!) because it is loading without issue for me, but I will get it working.
It has been a rough week on me for workouts. My son just turned 4-months old, and all of a sudden he isn’t a fan of his daytime nap schedule. It seems like my daily To-Do list became a To-Do mountain this week. I am playing catch up, but I am ready to start fresh again this week. I shared this video of my son laughing on my Instagram (@BenderFitness), because it makes me smile every time I see it! Hopefully it brings a smile to your face too! It’s a good reminder to find the joy in life.
For anyone who has been on social media (or looked at the news this week), you know there has been a lot of cruelty going on lately. Politics and opinions quickly go from discussion and debate to attacks and name calling. I think that political discussion is a great tool, when both sides are willing to listen and critically think about what the other party is saying, but once you attack that is gone. So I am posing an extra “challenge” to do something to bring joy to someone today. Hopefully the video of Maverick laughing brought someone a little bit of joy. It doesn’t always have to be a grand gesture, but the world can use some kindness right now.
I think that true health is physical, emotional, and spiritual. On this website I primarily talk about the physical side of wellness, but that doesn’t mean the other aspects aren’t just as important.
As always, thank you for working out with me! See you tomorrow! Don’t forget to spread some kindness today.
Melissa

I did not this today before I saw it posted on your blog! Loved it, really burned. Thanks!
I will do this workout in the morning. But I do love how you shared your baby laughing. It’s the cuties thing. I love how babies laugh it brings joy to the room.
Can you buy a membership so we wouldn’t see all the advertisement? I just stumbled upon your information and I really like it!! (But, ads drive me nuts.) Thank so much!
It’s the 1st time I see this workout! It’s great and my core really was challenged.
I have learned after three kids (youngest is five months old) that there is a season for everything. It took a long time to get over the extreme frustration I had with not being able to fit in workouts some days, being constantly interrupted on others, or being just plain exhausted due to erratic sleep schedules (all three were/are TERRIBLE sleepers). Now, I do what I can, when I can, and if I cannot, I try very hard not to beat myself up over it. This too shall pass. Now is just not the time for such extreme devotion to daily workouts as it once was.
