Hi Everyone!
As you can tell from the picture above I definitely got a good workout today! This workout is focused on toning all of the muscles of your stomach/core, while burning fat at the same time.
Let’s uncover those strong ab muscles so we can see all the results of the hard work we’re putting in. 🙂 The combination of strengthening moves, and cardio intervals will help maximize fat burning, while maintaining lean muscle. This results in a boosted metabolism, and increased firmness and tone throughout your body.
I alternated every other exercise with jump roping. You could also substitute high knees, froggers or mountain climbers if you don’t have a jump rope. I was planning on also doing a run, but as I am just recovering from being sick yesterday I decided not to push it. Instead, Jesse and I went on a short leisurely walk, about 1.5 miles.
I hope you all enjoy the workout! See you tomorrow.

Amazing workout! I rotated Muay Thai knees, jump rope, high knees, and knee up jacks for the cardio. Again great workout. Thanks! Glad you are feeling better.
Did the workout yesterday and woke up with some very sore abs. Thanks for a great start to my day. Can’t wait to do this one again.
Holy sore abs Batman! Lol. I didn’t have a jump rope so I alternated between high knees and jumping jacks. I did this workout Monday night and am really feeling it today. Which is a good thing! Thanks for a great workout.
I just did it and LOVED (hated) every minute of it! Thanks for another killer workout :]

First of all, I love your videos; I have been trying to do at least one a day! One area I want to focus on is my chest. I have read that if you do lots of exercises with the pectoral muscles and arms, this will give the appearance of fuller, firmer breasts. Would you care to share any tips or secrets that you have found successful?

Hi Melissa,
I am a kickboxer and I often supplement my training schedule with your workouts. This is one of my favorites to do in preparation for big fights. You are so amazing. Keep up the good work.
