  2. Hi Michelle!
    I am on week three of the Bikini body program and am loving it so far!


    Is there any way to have pictures of these exercises? I've been looking up a lot of them on other sites, but I can't find some of them, and having them would be a big help for form.

  4. these workouts really are great and give me something i look forward to combined with daily cardio!

    I just want to suggest to others feeling they need videos, I have found that just searching via youtube for anything that I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around or need assistance in ensuring proper form, works every time. Michelle tells you what to do and every once in a while for the time being some random person on YouTube shows me HOW to do it hehe.

  5. Could you post a pic of the Side Lunge with Jump to Skater Lunge? I just can't seem to get it! :) And, on the Crazy Girl Sit Ups, do you cross you feet when you're standing up? That's the only way I can seem to get up! Thanks!

    1. Heavy weight and placing some active rest or jogging in between exercises or sets.

  7. I have been doing your workouts for the past two and a half weeks and am enjoying them very much. Thanks for taking the time to share your expertise. I agree that pictures of many of these exercises would be quite helpful. I did try googling and youtube, but the results don't always seem to match your description. Also, on this workout and the ab toner workout, the directions in the top part (as far as how many times to complete the circuits) don't always match the directions below (where you describe the exercises), which ends up leaving me a bit confused! Thanks again, and please keep sharing.
