BUILT at Home

By Melissa Alcantara

This program uses minimal equipment—Mel’s Training Band System + a long resistance band + optional dumbbells—body weight + plyometric exercises, and high intensity interval training to maximize weight loss and target common areas of the body that need extra love to come in line—yes, we’re talking abs, booty, and legs—while pushing your cardiovascular capacity right through your f*cking sky. Because having access to a fitness facility can be challenging—and also because getting a soul lifting workout or getting your little extra work outside the gym before that summer vacation ;)—I have developed a “basic” training course that can be done in the comfort of your home where nobody can judge for the amount of sweat coming out your every body part and the cussing that’s rolling out your otherwise pure mouth. Yup, you have options babe! Train at home full time, add any of these workouts a couple of times a week to your Built Aesthetics or 10Pack Hamstrings programming, or simply do any of your favorites from the training plan whenever you feel like it a.k.a. When “I have one too many mimosas on Sunday and want to start the week with a nice slice of humble f%cking pie”; trust me, I know damn well! Soooooo, grab the BIGGEST towel you have, a mat, keep some of my bands on the side, tighten up that sports bra, if you’re wearing one unlike me, and let’s turn on those sweat faucets you call armpits!
