Hi Everyone!
Today’s workout is focused on the core with an intense cardio fat burning segment. The Cardio Burn kicked my butt! I don’t know if it was because of the Lower Body Workout that I did yesterday, but my thighs were burning and shaking!
This is a great workout, that will still challenge your whole body, even though it is core focused. The video below includes the Warm-Up and Cool Down. I asked yesterday if you preferred the warm up and cool down built in, and the result seemed to be split 50/50.
Be sure to push yourself during today’s workout. Seeing results in your midsection is a combination of strengthening and fat burning.
I am going to work on editing this video in segments as well, so I will have the warm-up, cool-down, and workout portion uploaded as separate videos to make it easier for those of you who prefer to repeat your workouts in segments, and pair them with alternate workout videos.
I experimented with my Black Bean Brownie Recipe, and made Thin Mint Brownies. I will be sharing that recipe soon. My sister came over to help me film this workout, and when she tried the brownies she said they tasted like a Girl Scout cookie.
I am off to play with this happy little guy! Have fun & let me know how you feel after today’s Core & Cardio Burn.
I hope you enjoy today’s workout!

Any tips or tricks to avoid arching your back for some of those moves on the mat? Thanks!
How many rounds did you go through? And did you do any extra cardio?
eeeeee maverick is so adorable!!
Really like the new moves – thanks!!
I liked this workout. Breaking it down actually made it go by faster it seemed, which is weird but I’ll take it. As much as I would like to skip warming up and cooling down my body needs it so thanks for including the warm up and cool down! And I didn’t have to go somewhere else to find a warm up/cool down video or make one up myself.
I agree that i like the warm up and cool down included. If it is not included I am less likely to do it. And if I don’t feel like doing them then i can just skip forward.
I repeated entire workout this morning. Feeling refreshed already!
