Basic Body Shaping Home Workout: Melissa Bender Fitness
Hi Everyone,
I did another tough, full body workout today. I mixed up the style a little bit to make it more challenging. I completed half of my reps quickly, and half slowly while focusing on form. It added a whole new type of challenge to the workout.
I have been getting lots of questions about my nutrition/diet choices lately so I am planning to take pictures of a day in my food life to share with everyone. :)
Enjoy the workout!
Melissa

Great workout Melissa! And so beautiful as always.. ;-) I was thinking it'd be so cool if you did a video on where you purchased and what you have on hand for your in-home workouts i.e. bands, dyna discs, etc.. I am taking on some in-home clients and it'd be great to get your take on what all is needed if anything! Thanks and keep up the impressive and consistent work! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael! I can do that. I try to keep things as home workout friendly as possible, but I do like to mix it up with some equipment too.
