HIIT the New Year Hard: Workout Day 3: Lower Body
Hi Everyone!
Today's workout is focused on shaping & sculpting the Lower Body. This routine also incorporates some great core strengthening moves. A strong lower body gives you the strength and power for a variety of movements, and helps maintain your pelvic alignment.
When you utilize a balanced workout program you improve your body's biomechanics, which helps improve your overall strength, health and fitness.
You can find today's Bonus Workout move on Instagram: Here (@BenderFitness). I am posting a different Bonus Workout move every day this month.
I apologize for the video quality of today's workout. Jesse was in a wedding, and he was busy with wedding obligations all day. I used my computer to self-film the workout.
My DietBet Challenge just started. If you want to join you can do that here: www.dietbet.com/BenderFitness. The pot is over $15,700 now, and everyone who hits their weight loss goal splits the pot.
Have fun with the workout!
Melissa

Hi Melissa, Lately I haven't been able to view your videos. It just says that your video isn't viewable at this time. I haven't encountered this with any other youtube video. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Thanks
