Core & More Workout: 15 Minute HIIT


Hi Everyone,

Today is a core/cardio day. The workout video is below. 

My plan was to go through this workout 1-2X and pair it with 30 minutes of cardio. I actually missed the cardio portion. It was an exhausting day at work, and I procrastinated my workout when I got home. I ran out of time, but I am happy I still got in the core workout. 

During the holiday's it can be tough, but I try to be consistent with my workouts. Recently I have been having a lot of food allergy symptoms, so it is forcing me to re-focus on my diet. It is tricky during the holiday season, because I am eating more food prepared by others. When I cook at home, I can control what I am putting into my meals. 

I hope that you all enjoy the workout! 
Melissa

  1. First, I love how level your table top pose is!
    Secondly, I'd love some suggestions on how to work up to that pose. Currently I can only get party way level and then my shoulders start to get tight. What can I do to build a better table top pose?

  4. According to workout videos I have seen when you don't have proper schedule for fitness training, the chance for hitting the same muscle repeatedly is increased.
