Rockin' Body Weight Workout

Hi Everyone!

This workout was much tougher than I gave it credit for! I hope you are ready to sweat! My arm, chest and back strength isn't quite up to where it usually is (the result of taking a month off after a neck injury from being rear-ended). I had to modify one exercise, and decrease the number of reps for the last exercise. 

Remember, modifications are fine as long as you are challenging yourself! I went through this workout once and paired it with a 4 mile run (about 32 minutes of cardio), because that's all my body was ready for today. 

I originally filmed the workout tutorial in December of 2011 (the year I first started sharing my workouts!) The original tutorial video is posted below. 

I decided to re-film full length versions of some of my older workouts. I hope you enjoy the workout!
