Hi Everyone!
It's the first day of my HIIT the New Year Hard Workout & DietBet Challenge!
The DietBet Challenge doesn't officially start until January 3rd (and you can register even after it starts), but the earlier you start the more time you have to achieve your goal, so I am starting the workouts early. If you haven't joined the challenge yet you can do so at www.dietbet.com/BenderFitness for a chance to win $ and prizes while losing weight!
I also started my Instagram Bonus Move Challenge today! You can find me on Instagram @BenderFitness. I will be posting a new Instagram Challenge move every day this month. Plus you will still get sneak peeks for all of my workouts while I work on getting the full length workout uploaded.
Workout #1 is a full body workout that will keep your heart rate up and challenge your entire body. One round of this workout takes 22 Minutes. Remember to push yourself during each 50 second interval. If you need a break, that's okay, but get back into the workout as soon as you are able to.
Don't get down on yourself if the workout is hard. It's supposed to be hard. The challenge is what makes you stronger and healthier. Focus on getting a little bit better, or going for a longer period of time before you take a rest break. Fitness doesn't happen overnight, but with consistency you will see improvements quickly! When I first started working out I couldn't run more than a few blocks at a time without stopping to walk. We all start somewhere. Don't give up on yourself or your health. You are worth the effort.
Happy New Year! I think it's going to be a great one!

Wish you could make a list of the workouts as you have made of every other 30 day challenge. So its easier to find the workouts when I want to start the 30 day challenge. :) Thanks for doing this 30 day challenges I am so excited! Especially about February! You are the best!
ReplyDeleteI will be making a list for the whole month. :)
Deletegreat workout as always
ReplyDeleteAny good subs for high knees? For some reason they kill my ankles.. Would any cardio do? Jacks, jump rope, mountain climbers?
ReplyDeleteYou can absolutely substitute any of those cardio exercises for high knees. :)
DeleteThanks! And seriously, thanks for all you do! I love your workouts & save $70 a month on a gym membership!
DeleteThis was a great workout, thank you Melissa. I have been working out with you since your very first workouts and you just keep getting better and better (if it´s even possible :))
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D
DeleteAmen!
DeleteWow! You are great for posting all these workouts. I will start the challenge today and I hope to lose the 10pds I need. Thanks for all you do! Thanks, Yanet
ReplyDeleteHey Melissa! Love the web page…quick question about your workout routine!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Meghan, I'm a college student who does a lot of cardio and weight training I''ve been following your workouts for a while, your workouts seem to incorporate a lot of body weight and cardio…do you have a separate weight lifting session or weight lifting routine that you use to prepare for competitions? or do you just use the videos?
Thanks!
Meghan
Hi Melissa. I found your website after I found your body bootcamp workout on dailyhiit.com. I decided to start with your 30 day challenge instead. I love it!!!! I also love how you blend in yoga into the week as well--not a lot of programs do--and flexibility and core is important. I am looking forward to the next 30 with you. I know I am late but I get to see your face everyday so it works for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all that you do.

Hi Alana! It's never to late to start a challenge. :) I'm so glad you're enjoying it!
