Tight and Fit Home Workout


Hi Everyone,

I can't believe it's Sunday again! Days just seem to be flying by. Last week was very hectic for me. I was finishing up my first full-time fieldwork placement, tomorrow I start a new one. I still have plenty of great workouts planned for this week. 

Today's workout was fun. Afterwards I did a 3.5 mile run outside. It took 30 minutes and 28 seconds, and included one very long hill, and plenty of smaller inclines. :)

Also, I have launched a new facebook page. If you want to be updated immediately when I post a new work be sure to like the new page: www.facebook.com/melissabenderfitness

I have some fun stuff planned for my blog in the near future, and I will be updating everyone on that soon. In the meantime I hope you have fun with today's workout!

    1. If it doesn't say how many times I repeat than I only went through it once. In this workout, I did this in addition to a 3.5 mile run. If I wasn't running I would have repeated 3-4 times.
