Shape and Burn Workout
Hi Everyone!
This was my workout last night. It's been a while since I did a workout that combined repetition intervals with treadmill intervals. I really enjoy the challenge of this style of workout. It builds and challenges your strength, muscle endurance and cardiovascular endurance.
If you don't have a treadmill you can substitute jump roping, high knees or a cardio workout for the running. Of course you can always get outside too! Unfortunately despite the fact that spring started it has been in the teens to mid 20s here, and the cold has not been motivating me to run outside. I want sunshine!
Tomorrow is my birthday so I am planning a fun workout to celebrate entering another year feeling stronger and healthier than I ever have before. I have more energy, I'm stronger, I feel happier and more confident. Working out and being able to share my workouts with all of you has been a great blessing. Every time I get a message hearing about your success it inspires me and motivates me.
Thank you guys! Enjoy the workout,
Melissa
