Hi Everyone!
Welcome to Day 1 of my Fit & Healthy New Year & DietBet Challenge Workouts! One round of today’s workout takes 30-Minutes. In the video below I completed this workout for time (intervals), but I also included the breakdown to complete the workout for reps.
You can choose either variation, or complete a round of each to really challenge your body in two different styles of training. In this workout I am using 15-lb dumbbells. If you don’t have any weights you can complete the exercises with body weight only. If you do have weights I recommend using them because it will help boost your metabolism & burn, while increasing the challenge of each exercise.
During this challenge I encourage you to workout between 30-60 Minutes per day. You can do one round of this workout and 30-Minutes cardio of choice, or do two rounds of this workout for a total workout time of 60-Minutes.
If you haven’t signed up for the weight loss challenge yet you can do so here: www.dietbet.com/BenderFitness for a chance to win money & prizes by placing a bet on your ability to lose 4% of your body weight in 4-weeks. It’s a great motivator!
Have fun with today’s workout & make sure you are supporting it with healthy food choices. For some ideas check out: DietBet Sample Meal Plan & Bender Bikini Competition Diet.

Hi Melissa. I did this yesterday evening after work. I was wiped out. Thought I was going to add some cardio but well, by the time I finished this session, I’m done. Btw, I did Jump Roping for cardio bursts and 5kg dumbbell for weight. Thank you for keeping it up with your blog and workout posts.
Great workout! Thanks, Melissa! I really appreciate the variety of workouts you share–I wasn’t feeling motivated but having new challenges really helped.
First workout of the year for me (better late than never 😉 )and it was a really good one, feeling energized. Thank you so much for your dedication, it motivates a lot. And congratulations for the baby to come.
Thanks Melissa!!! Great workout, looking forward to tomorrow!
Glad to have a new 30 day challenge. Motivating me to ramp it up from every other day to everyday. No excuses. Started with day 1 today. Looking forward to 30 minutes a day kicking my butt (and my husband’s too).
You helped me get in shape for my wedding this summer and I look forward to following through the new year. Thanks for the workouts, amazing!
I’m starting the challenge today and did this twice through! Burned over 500 calories and feeling strong!
