Hi Everyone!
This is a fun and quick workout that had me dripping sweat, and feeling the burn. This workout uses plyometric movements to sculpt your lower body, and core exercises that will challenge you from every angle.
You can do this workout once or repeat it. Each round takes 15 minutes. This is also a great workout to improve your VO2 Max. It will challenge you cardiovascularly while promoting lean muscle mass.
I hope you all enjoy this workout! Jesse is getting warmed up for this workout right now. He has been doing the Body Sculpt Challenge, and is loving the results so far. :) Jesse was dealing with some low back pain after hard runs, and incorporating this workouts has helped stabilize and strengthen his back, core and glutes. His back pain has disappeared, and this should translate into better running form during races.
Have fun! I'll see you tomorrow with a new workout!

ReplyDeleteI don't know if this is just a "tired" day for me, but this one killed me. I'll have to repeat this one because I didn't get thru all of the 50 seconds on some of the lunge jumps. I did Day 5 before this one, but only once.
ReplyDeleteLoving it, of course Melissa. Tough one!

Thank you Melissa! This time I did it along with the video instead of on my own. I HAD WAY MORE leg shake outs during those jumps! You're a beast!
Love it mel! =)
