Strong and Tight Body Workout
Hi Everyone,
Tonight's workout was tough! I actually did the exercises in a different order than I filmed in the video. When I went through the workout I did it by section: cardio, arms, butt/hamstrings, and abs. In the video I switched up the rounds so that each section had one exercise from each round. Either way it will be effective. :)
I also did a 3.5 mile run outside. It was the same loop as yesterday, but I talked to Jesse the entire run and it took 31 minutes, and 31 seconds. I needed to do a more relaxed run after doing this workout!
There will be a new workout video tomorrow.
See you then,
Melissa
