Hi Everyone!

Welcome to a brand new week of workouts! We are starting the week with a 28-Minute Total Body Workout. This is a throwback workout. I filmed it when I was pregnant with my daughter, last summer. You don’t need any equipment, and you can work to your own level. For example, if you want to amp up the intensity you can choose to add dumbbells or a weighted vest to the workout.

I will be filming new workouts this week. My goal is to have three new workouts and two throwback workouts. I’ve been struggling a bit to get things in. I’m having some tough days and I’m not sure if that’s due to postpartum hormones, the pandemic, lack of sleep, or a combination of all of the above.

Yesterday I intentionally set aside my plan to film a workout, because I was dealing with some anxiety, and I knew I needed to get outside and have some relaxed time with my family. We went on a hike together, and the time spent in nature did wonders for my disposition. I feel badly that I didn’t post the Saturday workout that I had planned, but I needed sunshine and the smell of crushed leaves.

Metal health is an important part of overall health, and I try to give my mental health the same care and attention that I dedicate to my physical health. Sometimes, that means an unplanned day off and other times that means an extra sweaty intense workout. Learn to listen to what your body needs.

We have another great vegan recipe from Rose this week. It’s easy Vegan Tacos. I brought some tofu, and I’m planning to try it tonight for #MeatlessMonday. Of course, there is always taco Tuesday, although I personally enjoy tacos any day of the week.

Let me know what you think of today’s workout, and our recipes this week. I have a frittata recipe, zoodle antipasto salad and a smoothie recipe to share. If there is a certain recipe you want to see next, let me know!

Have a great start to the workout week!

    Never feel badly for not posting. You give so much of yourself on here and we are very grateful! I struggle with anxiety as well and giving yourself a mental health day(s) is important. Working out with you helps immensely with my mental health and I thank you so much for that! And I’m happy to revisit the hundreds of amazing workouts on here hundreds of times. 🙂

    Hi Melissa, thanks a lot for this workout. I did it yesterday and today, with 20min of warm up, 10min of cool down.
    Hope you take time for your wellness mentaly and physicaly.
    You look amazing. Your body seems as if nothing happened and you are getting stronger each time I see you. You are a great teacher, always in evolution. If you can explain how you are doing the position you showed on instagram with hands on the floor between your open legs straight and up torso flex towards your legs,
    ,I want to do this one too.
    Send you love.
