20 Minute Abs & Arms Workout: HIIT


Hi Everyone!

Today's workout is focused on Abs and Arms. I utilized a lot of Planks and Pushups, because they are two of the best exercises you can do for your core. 

I repeated this workout twice. The first time through I did it without cardio intervals, and the second time through I added 30 seconds of high knees between each exercise. Today I filmed my second time through the workout, and I was definitely feeling tired as I went through it. 

I found the non-cardio interval version to be more challenging because I really focused on getting in maximum reps on each exercise. For the second round, the high knees gave my abs and arms a break in between each exercise, with the bonus of adding an extra cardio burn into the workout. 

I also announced my up-coming Challenges for 2015 today! You can read more about them here: HIIT the New Year Hard Fitness Challenges


Enjoy today's workout!
