20 Minute HIIT, Sweat, Fat Burn

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are ready to sweat! The workout video is below. This is an intense 20-Minute HIIT workout. I was literally dripping sweat during this one. It felt great to work hard today. 

This is a full body workout that will help you burn fat and sculpt lean muscle. Move at a pace that challenges you. You want to get in as many reps of each exercise as you can. It's okay to breath hard and sweat. That means you are working at a higher intensity, and that is what gets you results!

I posted the picture above on my Instagram page. I wanted to make sure I filmed a new workout today, so to eliminate any reason for excuses I dressed in my workout clothes and then layered it for a going out look. The easier you make your workouts fit into your schedule, the less excuses you have, and the more likely you are to stick with your program. 

I am also re-focusing on healthy eating. Jesse and I went out to breakfast this morning.  They had a create your own omelette option: I got a 3-egg omelette with spinach topped with tomatoes, avocado and smoked salmon. On the side I had a salad with olive oil and lemon juice. It was delicious!

See you soon!

PS Today I did one round of this workout and paired it with a 30 Minute Comfortable Pace run on the treadmill. I kept it at an 8.5 min/mile pace and got in 3.5 miles.
