Bikini Prep/Body Sculpt: Workout 21: Tighter Tummy Sculpt


Hi Everyone!

Last night's workout is focused on sculpting a tighter tummy. A strong core is imperative to a healthy lifestyle. Your core impacts the biomechanics of your entire body. 

One round of this workout takes 15 minutes. If you want to increase the intensity you can incorporate 30-45 second intervals of jump rope or high knees between each exercise. 

I paired this workout with a 4 mile run. I kept the pace at 8 minutes per mile. I am looking forward to incorporating some speed work in the upcoming weeks. I will be posting all about it so be sure to check back! 

Also, don't forget that the next 30 Day Challenge starts on Saturday. I am planning on posting some nutrition tips and meal ideas along with the challenge. It's very common for people to struggle with the dietary side of things. I do not eat 100% clean all the time, but as my next NPC bikini competition comes closer I will certainly be focusing on nutrition a bit more. 

Enjoy the workout!
Melissa

  1. LOVE your workouts... I check in daily! Just wondering if you could please add to your posts how many rounds you completed. I'm always unsure if I'm getting full benefits... I'm certain I will push myself if I know how many rounds you do to keep sculpted! Thanks abundantly

  2. Sorry, what do you mean by "I kept the pace at 8 minutes per mile"?
