HI Everyone!

Welcome to Day 17 of my 6-week workout challenge! Are you ready to work your midsection today? Yesterday we did a Butt Sculpt Workout, so today we are ready to work our core. This week’s schedule is below:

Week 3: 

  1. Rest Day
  2. Lower Body-Butt Sculpt Workout + 30-Minutes of Easy Cardio
  3. Core Sculpt + Moderate Intensity Cardio
  4. Interval Cardio
  5. Arms/Upper Body + Easy Cardio
  6. Rest Day
  7. Full Body Workout + Easy Cardio

For my Cardio today I am going to do a Spin class. Jesse has a race this weekend, so he wanted to do some cross training. Spin is a great way to get in some endurance/cardio and work on leg turnover, without pounding his legs before the race. I haven’t taken a spin class since I was pregnant, so I am excited to try it out again. The class will be 45-Minutes long, so I will do one round of today’s workout, plus the 45-minute class for a total workout time of 60-Minutes.

I did a Facebook Live chat today on my page: @MelissaBenderFitness and got some great feedback, so I will definitely be doing that again in the future. I won’t be filming the new core workout until this evening. In the mean time I posted a Throwback Core workout option below. I will get the new workout uploaded as soon as I can, and post it here. Update: The New Workout Video is Below. Don’t forget, if you have a Diastasis, substitute the Diastasis Workout Video for this one. That video is great for the Deep Core Muscles even if you don’t have an abdominal separation.

Have fun, and I will see you soon with a new workout!
Melissa
