Sweat-acular Workout! Melissa Bender


Hi Everyone,

As you can see in the picture above (and in the running shots from the video) this workout had me seriously sweaty! I filmed the video and then did the workout, and Jesse decided to get some shots of my cardio bursts in between. :)

Jesse did this workout with me, so we alternated 5 minute intervals, and 5 minute cardio on the treadmill. He started out running, and I started out with the reps. You can do it either way, I promise you will feel it! 

The entire workout takes 30 minutes (including the cardio) if you are doing it one the advanced level. Obviously I was running on the treadmill (8.5 or 7 min. miles), but you can also jump rope, do high knees, jumping jacks or split up one of the cardio burst workouts. 

Try it out, and let me know what you think!
