HIIT the New Year Hard: 10 Minute Core Sculpt Workout
Hi Everyone!
This is workout #24 of my HIIT the New Year Hard Workout Challenge!
Today's workout is focused on strengthening the core. A balanced core will help improve your performance in every type of exercise, and supports better balance. To create equal balance in the core it is imperative to work the muscles from every angle, and incorporate exercises for the mid and lower back.
I paired this workout with a walk on the treadmill. I like pairing core with cardio for an extra burn.
Enjoy the workout!
