At Home Body Tone
Hi Everyone!
I did this workout last night, but it's been another busy day so this is the first chance I have had to post the breakdown!
Along with this workout Jesse and I did a long run. We went to a local park and did a 10 mile run. It felt great, and I couldn't help but think back to when I first started running and I could barely go two blocks without stopping. I have said this before, but I think it's really important to take time to appreciate how far you have come. This is especially true if you feel like you have plateaued, or you aren't getting results as quickly as you want to. Instead of being frustrated and unhappy, take a moment to give yourself credit for what you have accomplished so far.
Today I took it easy with my workout. I ran a mile, and walked 2 miles. Tomorrow there will be a new workout. :)
See you tomorrow!
Melissa

Amazing. :) to start, do you recommend to do workouts like this everyday? or mix it with cardio? thanks.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, you've said on one of your videos that Jesse says this is one of his favorite workouts for runners.. Or something along those lines. But for the life of me I can't find it. I know it was a recent video. Help.. :) thanks for all your amazing workouts and your positive attitude!
ReplyDeleteYou are probably thinking of this one: http://www.benderfitness.com/2013/05/quick-workout.html
DeleteThe interval workouts are great too because they work your strength and endurance at the same time. :)
The leg series is no joke! Thanks for another one. Your blog is a gold mine. I have passed it on to many of my friends and recommended it to my boyfriend to use with leading PT for his Air Force Squadron. They all said one word about your workouts "intense." Thanks again!
