Core Workout for a Tighter Tummy

Hi Everyone!

Good Morning everyone! This is a quick core workout, but you will definitely feel it! This routine works the core from every angle, to strengthen and tone your mid-section. 

I incorporated exercises to pull-in the waist, and work the love handle area. The core is more than just the "six-pack." It includes your back and sides as well. 

Building strength through your core helps protect your low back, and provide postural alignment for everything you do. If you build a balanced core you can reduce back pain. As a bonus, the postural improvements can help re-align your hips and get rid of the "belly pouch" that many people notice in their low abs. 

I hope you enjoy this workout! There will be a new workout later today. :) It was a bit of an adjustment returning from Mexico after being off. We started teaching Yoga and Boot Camp classes on Tuesday and Thursday. We have permission to film the workouts, so if the students don't mind I might have some full length group workouts to share with you all soon.
