30 Day Challenge: Day 23: Core Galore 16 Minute Interval Workout for a T...


Hi Everyone! 

This is workout #23 of the 30 Day Workout Challenge! One round takes 16 minutes, and it's a great challenge! I really felt the burn during this one. 

When working the core you want to strengthen all of the muscles of your abdomen and back. A strong core will assist you and protect you in all of your other workouts (from running, to lifting, and beyond). You core powers your movements, improves your balance, and protects your back from injury. Core strength also determines your pelvic alignment which impacts the biomechanics of your hips and knees. 

Often people focus on completing crunches which target only the anterior muscles of the abdomen and create muscular imbalances tilting of the pelvis. When you are not optimizing your biomechanics you are putting increased pressure on your joints. Strengthening your core can improve and correct misalignment. This workout targets the core muscles from every angle to improve muscular balance and strength. 

I hope you all enjoy the workout!
