Summer Ready Tummy Workout
Hi Everyone!
This is a throwback workout that is fantastic for your core. It utilizes challenging moves that work your entire core to help you get a sculpted middle.
This workout was filmed about a week after my first NPC Bikini competition, so seeing it is a good motivator for me! The last several months we have had many major life events happen and my workouts haven't been as consistent as I would like.
To add another thing to the list of craziness, yesterday the brakes on my car failed while I was driving. It was a terrifying experience, but I am okay and managed not to hit anything.
I intended to film a new workout tonight, but I came home from work utterly exhausted and took a much needed (3 hour!) nap. After the stress of yesterday I think my body needed the sleep more than a workout.
So I will see you tomorrow when I get home from work with a new workout. In the meantime enjoy this one!
