Hi Everyone!

Congratulations! We are three weeks in to the 30-Day Challenge! I posted workout days 19-21 below. I have been posting the daily links on my Facebook page, but I wanted to also post a new blog post with each video.

For Day 19 we have a Dumbbell Interval Sculpt. It’s a fantastic total body workout, that incorporates dumbbells. Adding resistance can help boost your metabolism and help you break through plateaus. I used 20-lb dumbbells in the video. You can use any weight that challenges you, but still allows you to maintain form.

The Day 20 Workout is focused on sculpting your core. This workout incorporates jump rope intervals for added fat burning. If you don’t have a jump rope you can do rope less jumping, high knees, or an alternate cardio of choice. It’s a great challenge, and it will only take 15-Minutes per round. You can do it once, or repeat it up to 3X.

Workout Day 21 is a Low Impact Lower Body Sculpting Workout. No plyometrics in this one, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t challenging! It is a fantastic way to work all of the muscles of your lower body.

I started filming workouts for my Brand New February DietBet Challenge. I also started running again this week. The weather has been great for this time of year so I had to take full advantage. If one of your goals is weight loss and you want to win money for losing weight you can sign up for my DietBet Challenge here: www.dietbet.com/benderfitness. It starts February 1st, but you can sign up anytime between now and then.

Have fun with the workouts! Let me know where you are in the challenge. I will keep posting the weekly schedule, as well as my blog post updates with the challenge. I have LOVED seeing your updates so please keep tagging me and commenting!
