Bottoms Up Workout
Hi Everyone,
Tonight I did a high intensity interval workout (HIIT). This workout can be done for a specific number of reps, or for the maximum number of reps you can perform in each timed interval. The breakdown will be listed below.
Jesse and I both went through this workout tonight. Be sure to warm up before this workout, because you will be working at a high intensity, and you want to maximize your results. I warmed up with jumping jacks, and hula hooping. Also, filming this video was a bit of extra warm up for the timed intervals I did on my second time through.
I will list my number of reps next to each exercise listed below. You can see by the top picture, that this one got me sweaty!
I hope you guys enjoy the workout. Have a great night!
Melissa
