Bikini Competition Prep/Body Sculpting Workout: Day1: Leg and Belly Blast
Hi Everyone!
This is Workout #1 of my Body Sculpting/Bikini Competition Prep Workout challenge. It's a quick workout that will get your heart rate up, and have you sweating. One round takes 15 minutes, and this one can be repeated up to 3X.
I planned on repeating this workout, but my schedule was thrown off due to a nearly 2 hour commute home from work in a snowstorm. I followed one round up with a 4 mile run so I can stay on track with the One Month Cardio and Body Shaping Challenge.
This workout combines lower body toning, with core tightening exercises. I used two 20 lb dumbbells in this workout, but you can use whatever weight you find challenging (or stick to body weight only).
I hope you enjoyed day 1 of the Body Sculpting Challenge! See you soon with Workout #2.
Melissa
