30 Day Challenge: Day 6: 20 Minute HIIT Shred and Shape


Hi Everyone!

It's Day 6 of the 30 Day Workout Challenge. Today's workout is a 20 minute interval workout. I went through it one time, but it is a great one to repeat if you have enough time. 

This workout combines cardio, and dumbbells for toning and sculpting. I have been including a lot of core work and planking variations because it supports your body for every exercise that you do. Having a stronger core can also help you prevent injury, and improve your bodies bio-mechanics. 

If you hear coughing in the video it's because poor Jesse isn't feeling good. :( He was still nice enough to film my workout so we could continue to share the 30 day challenge. 

Enjoy the workout! I will have a brand new one tomorrow with a special guest (or two!)
Melissa
