30 Day Challenge: Day 11: 15 Minute Arm Flab-u-less Workout

Hi Everyone!

Today is Day 11 of the 30 Day Challenge. Today's workout is focused on the arms, but utilizes compound exercises to maximize the lean muscle building and fat burning. Compound exercises (exercises that require you to use multiple joints and muscles at one time) have a significantly higher calorie burn both during and after your workout.

I repeated this workout twice. I felt ready for another round, but time didn't allow for me to go through it a third time. :) 

I am feeling so much better since starting this challenge. My energy, mood, and endurance have all improved. I am also starting to notice results physically. Keep checking in on facebook, instagram, and twitter. I love having you all complete this challenge with me!

I hope you enjoy the workout! See you tomorrow for day 12!
Melissa

  3. Love, love, loe this challenge! I did this workout twice and now going for a jog. I have asked many fitness experts about a summer plan, but haven't gotten any answers yet. I'm almost 50 and as soon as the snow melts, I bike 25 to 40 miles daily, but still like to maintain a weight program. Can you recommend something that won't burn me out and still give me the "legs" to bike?
