30 Day Challenge: Day 9: 15 Minute Cardio HIIT Fat Melting Workout


Hi Everyone!
Today's Day 9 workout was intense! It's a 15 Minute Cardio HIIT workout. It utilizes plyometric moves to burn fat, and get your body working at a high level of intensity. I definitely felt the burn during this workout. 

I followed this routine up with 2 miles of running on the treadmill while Jesse went through the workout. I kept the pace comfortable (8 minute miles), and it felt great after the high level of intensity of this workout. 

This is definitely one I will be repeating. It's added to my list of quick cardio favorites. If I am ever in a hurry and want to get in a tough workout this will be one of my go-to routines.

Check-ins for the 30 Day Workout Challenge are still going strong. A few people have told me that they pushed through workouts they probably would have skipped otherwise because they didn't want to miss a check in! I LOVE seeing your comments, pictures, tweets, and like's telling me that you are in on the challenge. :) If you haven't checked in yet today you can do so on: Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.  

See you all tomorrow! Enjoy the workout!
Melissa

  1. Thank you for doing the 30 day workouts! Im loving them! I am dripping with sweat!
    I think that more stretching videos would be helpful (not yoga, just regular stretching). As a blogger myself, i know i like ideas, i hope this helped!
    Cant wait for the next workout!

  5. I'm behind on the challenge (started late), but did this tonight. There is no way I would have worked out on a Friday night w/o the motivation from you! Also, this is the first time I have done the Russian kicks without stopping! Woohoo!!!
