30 Day Challenge: Day 2: Cardio HIIT 15 Minute Body Weight Fat Burn


Hi Everyone! 

Welcome to Day 2 of the 30 Day Challenge! Today's workout is an intense 15 Minute Cardio HIIT Fat Burn. This is a great workout for sculpting the thighs, legs and glutes, while burning fat all over. If you are up for a more intense challenge you can repeat this workout up to 3X. 

For today's workout I also filmed a tutorial video (which you can find below). In the tutorial I demonstrate proper form for each exercise, as well as modifications. Always focus on form. If you aren't ready for the harder variations (yet!) work your way up to them. You will get more out of the workout by performing each exercise correctly. 

Today I got to use my new Gymboss Interval Timer. I loved it! It was convenient, simple, and I didn't have to worry about accidentally stepping on my phone. Plus I like the color. :) 


Don't forget to Check In after you complete the workout. The daily check-ins are a great way to stay motivated and accountable for your workout. You can check in on FacebookInstagram or Twitter

Have fun and don't be afraid to work up a sweat!
Melissa

Do you understand my doubt? Thank you! P.S.: You inspire me! ;)
