Hi Everyone!

It’s workout time! I have two workout options for you today. The first is a 15-Minute Sculpted Body Home Workout. I completed/filmed this workout for reps, and it utilizes dumbbells.

The second workout option is a timed exercise video. I used a stability ball, and dumbbell during this workout, but you can modify all of the exercises to be done with body weight only. I do recommend using a weight if you have one, because it will improve the challenge of the workout.

You can choose one workout, and save the other for tomorrow. If you’re feeling feisty you can pair both workouts together. Make your workouts fit your needs and your lifestyle. That will help you be most consistent, and stick to your workout program.

The Importance of Rest: Be sure to incorporate rest days into your weekly workout schedule. Rest is when your muscles recover and grow stronger. During the workout you create small muscle tears. You actually gain strength during the repair process, which happens when you rest.

Sleep also helps improve your results, strength, and overall health. If you have trouble sleeping, incorporating a pre-bedtime meditation can help. I used to suffer from terrible insomnia when I was a young teenager. I got rid of my insomnia, and became a wonderful sleeper, by learning how to focus on my breathing as soon as I got into bed. These days I fall asleep as soon as my head touches the pillow.

New Instagram: I created a secondary Instagram account: @Melissa_Bender_Life 

I will still be posting on my @BenderFitness account. The new account includes more generalized posts. That means lots of baby photos, random occupational therapy tips, book reviews, fashion, and normal life experiences that aren’t necessarily related to fitness. I try to keep my BenderFitness account more streamlined.

Have fun with today’s workout! Let me know how you feel, if you need ideas for modifications, and how you are doing with the workouts. I love hearing from you!

Melissa

    Hello!

    First off I want to say your family is beautiful. Secondly I want to say that although you look beautiful as always I think you are looking a bit thin. I have children as well as my sister. We are both triathlon runners and we both had kids prior to our running. Never did we ever look as thin as u did and we worked out and ate right before and after our pregnancies. I Am a bit concerned with how thin u are getting in the amount of time u had ur baby. I know u had some negative post but please melissa please remember beauty is only skin deep. I have been looking at ur instagram and seeing ur meals, they seem quite small. Please do not aim for low calorie just to maintain an “image”. Ur husband and child need u healthy. I did get back to my normal weight as my sister did but I did show your recent picture to my sister today and she was as concerned. I ask u reach out if u need a support system. I had hate mail too. I am more then happy to speak to u. Stay strong beautiful. Xx
