30 day Melissa Bender Challenge - December 2013

Alright... I'm abandoning the Bodyrock challenge because I enjoy Melissa Bender's workouts so much more. I like that they're already 15 minutes so I only have to go through them twice. I like the exercises better too and for me it's just an overall better workout. Here is the link to Melissa Bender's page with the links as well. I have listed the breakdowns here so I can keep track:
