A Strong, Killer-Looking Core With This HIIT Workout!
(Bonus points if you crawl and send me a picture of you making your KILLER face haha)
Developing a strong, lean core means you first have to get your core activated and working and then you want to use your core during compound moves. AKA integrate and start working your core while you have to use other muscles as well.
And if you can make those moves cardio as well as core-intensive, you can burn even more fat to help you reveal those sexy, strong abs! If you want to take it one step further, you can not only activate and then integrate by including cardio-core compound moves, but you can also use these moves in a HIIT workout.
Because guess what?! HIIT only helps you burn more calories even while at rest!
So if you’re ready to maximize your results and tone and strength that core, check out the workout below from my 30-Day Killer Core Program!
