Hi Everyone,


Today’s workout is a tough one! This is a major calorie torcher, and it will help tone your entire body.

It took Jesse and I 31 minutes, and 40 seconds to complete the entire workout. Make sure you warm up before doing this one so you are getting the ultimate burn right from the start. This is a high intensity workout with a lot of different cardio burst exercises interspersed throughout. 


The benefit of HIIT workouts is increased calorie burn in shorter periods of time, among other things. I will be writing a blog post about the other benefits of this style of workout soon. 


Enjoy the workout, and have a great day!
Melissa

  1. Ouch, this workout was terribly hard for me! May be because in the last few days I did only short interval workouts and they were not so difficult. Definitely the rep workouts are my favorites, they give really serious benefits. My time: 43:17 (the advanced level, Oblique Drops with 12 kg kettlebell). Very, very slowly 🙁
    My reps for the timed exercises:
    3. 178
    6. 32
    7. 130
    9. 24
    15. 26
    19. 178.
    I’m not satisfied, but I’m feeling great, every cell in my body is happy 🙂 Thank you very much, Melissa!

      You’re welcome! I was actually just thinking about Reps vs Intervals, and I agree that the reps are harder. I am going to be filming some more new Rep workouts soon. 🙂
