Thigh and Tummy Trimmer
Hi Everyone!
Today's workout is focused on toning and tightening the thighs and tummy. As always, when working these muscles it's important to work them from every angle. This workout incorporates moves to work the inner and outer things, quads and hamstrings, and the entire core.
I followed this workout by walking 30 minutes of incline intervals on the treadmill. If you want some more cardio ideas check out: Spice Up Your Cardio Routine.
The workout breakdown is posted below. Have a great night!

Hi Melissa! Great workout and I will be doing this one tomorrow. Did you go through it just once? I usually do your advanced reps level but wasn't sure if I'd be able to get through it 3 times! ;)

ReplyDeleteMelissa, I'm looking for something to help me with my sit ups. I find doing them without equipment difficult and uncomfortable . What can you suggest? thanks, Krissy.
