Day 22: Double Birthday Challenge
Hi Everyone!
Today is my birthday so I am sharing two throwback workouts! These are my birthday workouts from the past two years. Last year my birthday was a week before my first NPC Bikini Competition.
I am not going to be breaking tradition this year. I will be filming a new workout today, and I already got in a great run (4 miles, with a 1 mile cool down).
It may sound crazy, but I love working out on my birthday. I want to welcome every new year feeling fit and healthy. It means that I will have the strength and energy for anything new that comes my way.
Check back later for this years new birthday workout!
Have fun!
Melissa
