Hi Everyone!
Are you ready to workout? I know I am! I took off the weekend for Christmas celebrations with my family. It was an amazing weekend spent with our loved ones. It also included a lot of eating, and a lot less activity than I am used too.
I planned to workout this AM, but my website went down and it took (what felt like) forever to get it fixed. That means I missed three days in a row! I don’t like to go more than 2 days consecutively without working out. I need to move!
I’m sorry that this week’s workout schedule wasn’t posted for you yet! Here is last week’s schedule if you haven’t checked it out yet: Weekly Workout Schedule: Dec 18-24. The new schedule is up now, and should be working!
This workout is all about the core. You will work your abs from every angle, and strengthen all of the muscles of your core. A strong core is foundational for everything you do. When you properly strengthen your core it helps maintain your pelvic alignment, protect your lower back, improve your posture, and support correct form throughout the day, and during exercise.
When I filmed this workout I paired it with 30-Minutes of Cardio. You can add a run, walk, cycling, or other cardio of choice. Check this week’s Workout Schedule for the optional Cardio Add On workouts for this week.
Ready for Cardio!
Have fun with today’s workout! Don’t forget to follow this week’s schedule & comment to let me know how you are feeling! There will be new workouts headed your way this week, plus I am planning a new DietBet challenge for January.
See you soon!
Melissa
