hey melissa, i just came across your blog(glad i did), i want a flat stomach so how do i go about with it.. there's such a lot of infomartion available on the internet so its kinda confusing which one to follow. may u plz guide me ?
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for the same answer. I gave birth 17 months ago ang need to tone my body. I want to flatten my belly, lose my lovehandles and lift and tone my butt and breasts. I'm waiting back for a reply also.
ReplyDeleteyou have to exercise, plain and simple . . . eat your vegetables, moniter your carb intake each day so that you dont spike your insulin levels (that causes the blood to store that un-used sugar in your liver and fat cells, which is how "carbs" make you fat). If you follow Melissa Benders workouts, your entire body will be more toned but your nutrition is the major part of your transformation. workout and eat good. look at her recipes . . .
DeleteSo glad I found you Melissa!
ReplyDeleteLove your videos and just subscribed on Youtube. Glad you have beginner stuff too!

ReplyDeleteThat doesn't sound weird at all! These exercises are great cross training for any sport, especially the speed and endurance you need for soccer. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Melissa, i just watched one of your videos on youtube so i checked your blog. This is great by the way! i'm trying to loose weight a get fit again and gym's just dont suit me, so i'm thought i could try home workouts, and i defenitly will guide myself through your blog :)
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa. I am a very out of shape mom of 5. I am 10 lbs overweight(which I want gone) but more than anything, my muscles are dead. I started your beginner workout yesterday and did it again this morning. Is there a beginner program that you have listed that I didn't see? My abs hurt from yesterday and was wondering what I should do everyday, the same program or change every other day, etc. Thanks for your great videos.
ReplyDeleteI just saw the program listed about that says up to 10 reps...does that mean I should do them all 1 time first and then repeat or does it mean to do 10 of each in order? Sorry...I am not an exerciser and would love to have my kids start a program like this too. Thanks!
DeleteI have a question ... Do you have any exercise workouts for kids with sensory intergration disorder? I have a son who could use any tips and thank you for all your wonderful workouts.
ReplyDeletethanks for that useful info
ReplyDeleteThe complete blogs are really inconceivable and definitely everyone will share this information.
