Hi Everyone!
Today I bring to you the Tough Guy workout. We had special guest, Tony. Tony is a personal trainer who is currently working to compete in a body building competition. This workout is quite different from what he is used to, but he did great!
My husband, Jesse, also made his first appearance on camera. He often joins me for the workouts. I decided to turn the tables and film him. I wanted to let all the guys out there know these workouts aren’t just for women. They are a challenge! So ladies, challenge your honey to join you in this workout! It just might be harder than they think it is. (PS this one is really hard, but you can do it! If you need to, take breaks and modify the workout to your level.) I found this one to be a great challenge. With tons of fat burning, and body shaping this workout will help you get the definition you want.
As a reminder, if you are just starting out don’t be discouraged if this is difficult. It will get easier. The good news is every rep you make is progress! Do what you can. As long as you are pushing yourself you are getting results!
Enjoy! Feel free to leave some feedback!

Hi Melissa,
I discovered your site almost a year ago when you have just launched it. This workout was my morning routine today. It was a brutal one, but I definitely enjoyed it a lot, thanks! 95 pushups in total and lots of mountain climbers, high knees and burpees…I am doing a month of your workouts now. It’s nice to notice the progress in my training over time. Thank you for being such an inspiration!
You are so welcome! Please let me know how it is going along the way! This is definitely one of my favorite routines!
How do I figure out how many calories were burned?
Melissa, Tony and Jesse, thank you so much! Awesome workout, it took me 45:22 (advanced level) 🙂
That is one of my favorites!!!! Glad you liked this one!
