Abs: Quick Workout to Tighten Your Core

Hi Everyone!

This workout is focused on the core. It should have you working up a sweat, and working the core from every angle. I enjoyed this workout, it was quick, but challenging. 

I do have new workouts to post and share. I apologize for being MIA for a few days. We have a lot of friends in from out of town that we don't normally get to see, Jesse's birthday was Thursday, and I threw a birthday party for him yesterday. 

It has been a lot of fun, but my body misses the workouts. Also, I have been eating a lot of food that I don't normally eat and I am having a food allergy reaction. No fun! My body was craving spinach and chicken this AM. It is clearly telling me to get back on track with a healthier diet. 

I am going to have to pin point exactly what food I am allergic to, so I am going to have a few weeks of a fairly strict diet, with slow re-introduction of some foods. I believe the culprit is lactose, but I want to be sure. 

In January I am starting a new challenge, and my very first Bender Fitness Ambassador will be sharing her story of working through one of my challenges. 

My cat, Gambit, made a guest appearance in this video. He loves when we work out. I had Jesse doing some foam rolling and as you can see in the picture below Gambit made himself comfortable. :) 

I hope that you enjoy the workout!
