Hi Everyone!

This workout is focused on strengthening and toning the core, and creating a leaner/tighter waist. I chose several moves that utilize the deep abdominal muscles. 

The deep abdominal muscles act like a muscular corset to create a leaner and stronger mid-section. When combined with cardio this is a really great workout for strengthening and sculpting your abs. 

I paired this workout with a run. I was planning on filming a new workout tonight, but I forgot that Jesse is taking our nephew to his first Hockey game! I am two days away from my half marathon so I only did one round of this workout, and paired it with an easy paced run, and 4 two minute intervals at my desired race pace. The week of a race it’s important to keep your body feeling fresh, without overdoing the mileage or the intensity. 

If you aren’t a runner I listed a cardio option below, or you can pair this with one of my Cardio Workouts for a bonus cardio challenge. 


See you tomorrow!

    Probably some where in this amazing website but I would love to know what you would recommend for someone (me for example) who is trying to get in shape yet not lose weight, i’m thin to the eye but I am very out of shape. I just want to make sure that I don’t begin working out and lose instead of gaining muscle and as far meals also what would be good and when would be good to eat. this would help so much! thank you.
