Legs and Abs Express: Quick Home Workout



Hi Everyone!

This was my workout last night (the video is posted below!) I took a long nap, so I ended up doing a late workout. This is a quick workout. If you want to amp up the intensity pair it with some cardio! You can do 30 minutes of cardio of choice (running, power walking, jump rope) or try one of my Cardio Workouts. It's also a great workout on it's own. :)

I had a long day yesterday, so I stuck to the workout and skipped the cardio. Today I am doing a running cardio workout which I will post about later. 

This is a great workout to help tone and strengthen your thighs and abs. The movements selected are challenging, and work your muscles from every angle. I always find the Extended Bridge movement tough as it really isolates my glutes and hamstrings. 

I am going strong with the no sweets challenge. I started incorporating a healthy version of a Frappucino into my morning routine, and I think it's helping to satisfy my sweet tooth. Also, the longer I go without sweets the easier it is. 

Enjoy the workout!
Melissa
