Sexy Sculpt Workout



Hi everyone,

I have tomorrow's workout for you!  I had to change up my workout schedule a little this week because work pretty much hijacked all of my time these last couple of days!  But it was just as well because my muscles are still sore from the Glute Blaster Workout!  So check the schedule again for the changes if you are working out with me.  I hope you are because you will see results!  My lower abs are starting to form the most awesome "V" and I have so much more definition in my arms than I did a few weeks ago!  I was so happy to lose 40 lbs, but now I'm excited to sculpt and tone my body.  I was worried that I would slip back into bad habits and here I am excited with new challenges.  I think that it is important to keep setting challenges in front of yourself.  Your personal challenges can serve as a great motivator to work out and move your body.  I would love to hear about your personal goals and challenges for your body in the comments section. :)  You can also leave your scores for the workout.  A little competition among friends can always make a workout more interesting!  I will post my scores by the end of the day so check back and see how your scores compare to mine.

Prepare for some sexy sculpting and toning to take place with this workout.  Push yourself as hard as you can, but make sure to listen to your body, maintain proper form, and drink a lot of water!  And always remember to keep your abs and core tight throughout every movement.  Focus your mind on how every movement feels--start to forge a connection between your body and mind.

Enjoy the workout and, more importantly, enjoy the rewards of your hard work!
