Hi Everyone!
Today’s workout is a Full Body Workout. This routine can be repeated, and I recommend timing yourself to see how many times it takes you to get through each round. Focus on form during each exercise, and really push yourself.
I filmed this workout for reps, but you can also set your interval timer for 13 Rounds of 10/50, if you prefer to do it HIIT style. I use a barbell in one exercise, but you can substitute Dumbbells, or do the movement with body weight.
My plan was to film two workouts this weekend, but my cold/sore throat just doesn’t want to go away! I am hydrating, gargling salt water, and drinking tea with honey. I will have to see what the day brings, but right now it looks like rest is going to be my best friend.
Yesterday I did an Interview with SweatStreamTV & Millionaire Hoy. You can find a link to the Podcast here: Melissa Bender Interview: Keeping Fitness 100% Free + Balancing Life & Fitness. I hope you all enjoy the interview. It was a lot of fun getting to talk about fitness, youtube and blogging.
I hope you enjoy today’s workout & I hope that I am back to 100% and able to work out with you all soon!
As I type this, Baby Bender is practicing his acrobatics in my tummy, so I think he wants me to say “Hello” to everyone on his behalf.
Have fun!
Melissa
