Fast Fat Blast - Melissa Bender Fitness

Hi Everyone!

If you look at today’s workout list it looks long, but it’s just because we have cardio bursts in between all of the workout moves. This will keep your heart rate up, and burn fat throughout the workout (and the rest of the day!) This workout has a lot of emphasis on legs, butt and thighs. Remember to use correct form and give it your all. The more you put into your workout the more you get out of it!

Also, during the “High Knees” portion of the video make sure you are lifting your knees as high as you can. I filmed the complete workout, and then went through it full speed a second time, and realized that I was pushing my knees a lot harder the second time around (and getting more out of it!)

As usual I welcome feedback and comments!

Thanks for working out with me!
Melissa
