Hi Everyone!

Welcome to today’s workout. I have a fantastic, 40-Minute Full Body Workout on the agenda today. I used one dumbbell during this workout, but you can also do this routine with only bodyweight exercises.

We aren’t skipping any muscles in this one! We are going to work everything, including your cardiovascular endurance. I really enjoyed filming the 40-Minute Body Sculpt Workout Series. Lately, I’ve been focused on filming shorter workouts, because that’s more in line with what my crazy/hectic schedule needs right now.

If you haven’t tried my most recent 10-Minute Glutes & Thighs Workout, you should definitely give that a go!

The Ongoing Facebook Saga Continues

In the ongoing saga of my Facebook page being hacked last month, today Facebook decided to fully restrict my page for the next two days and 23 hours. The hackers tried to get my personal page permanently deleted by posting horrific, illegal content on my personal page. Since then, I’ve had restrictions on my page, but was still allowed to post. Today they decided to fully restrict my page for the next three days.

What I’ve learned is that I was wrong to trust Facebook to have the back of it’s creators. There seems to be no internal communication among their teams or their automated review processes. My business page is permanently restricted in many ways. Facebook acknowledges that they know I have been hacked, but that the review process is out of their hands and has been rejected by their internal team.

As a free resource, we are fully reliant on social media and advertising to remain sustainable. To protect what I’ve built over the last ten years, I am most likely going to have to develop a paid program and possibly an app with exclusive content. This will enable me to continue sharing free workouts, while protecting the work that I’ve done.

I appreciate all of you who have remained with me through the years. I’m not giving up, but this entire situation has been disheartening. Every time I think an end is in sight the hits keep coming. Good thing I train hard to endure difficult things, and I have the endurance to persevere.

Enjoy today’s workout!
