Full Body Fitness Makeover: Happy New Year!


Hi Everyone!

Happy New Year! I am going into 2013 full speed ahead, with plenty of goals and a bit long "to do" list of things I want to achieve this year. I will be sharing my goals with you guys in a post later today. :) 

Today's workout video and breakdown is posted below. It's a tough full body workout. I went through it once and then ran 2 miles on the treadmill. I am planning on going through it one more time tonight before I take my shower this evening. 

This workout is challenging. It's a full body workout that will get your heart rate up and help you burn fat. I tried to move quickly between exercises to maximize the benefits to my metabolism. It's a great one for all over toning, body sculpting, and fat burning. It took me 18 minutes to go through it one time. 

I hope you guys enjoy the workout! I would love to hear what your resolutions are so feel free to leave a comment here, or on my facebook page

Have a great start to the year!
Melissa

  2. Hi Melissa, just thought I'd let you know how awesome I think your workouts are. I love the variety of moves and the different parts of my body they work. I've been incorporating them into my workout routine for the past few months, and I love the things that I'm seeing happen in my core and my shoulders. Your workouts are also perfect for moms, which I am, especially ones who are stuck at home. It's easy for me to write down a workout, turn on a movie for the kiddo, and then do it while she has movie time. Anyway, I've been following you for a while and just thought I'd let you know that I love what you are doing!

  10. Hi Melissa,
    I did this w/o and loved/hated it :) I did two rounds of 15 rep each and on my way to run/jog/walk/crawl.... the two miles. I am challenging myself to your two month bikini challenge, I will post every workout. THanks for the inspiration.
