10 Minute Fat Burn
Hi Everyone!
One round of today's workout takes on 10 minutes. Of course you can repeat it if you are looking for a longer/more intense workout. Research has suggested that 20 minutes is the optimal duration for interval workouts.
I followed this workout with 30 minutes of cardio on the treadmill. I felt great during my workout today.
I tried a delicious recipe from The Gracious Pantry for a clean version of coffee creamer today. French Vanilla Coffee Creamer is something I absolutely love, so when I found a clean recipe I knew I had to try it. You can check out the recipe here: Clean Eating Soy Coffee Creamer I used coconut almond milk instead of soy (it was what I had on hand), and it was delicious! I was able to find Xantham Gum in the Gluten Free section of Walmart, although it is optional in the recipe.
I hope you guys enjoy the workout!
Melissa
