    Overview

    This brutal but fun HIIT and abs workout is going to have you swimming in sweat! The HIIT workout is an incredibly effective fat burner that will quickly boost your cardiovascular endurance, and the core workout is going to hit all of the muscles throughout your entire midsection.



    On day three your whole body should be sore but your legs should be starting to feel a bit better.  Today’s workout will give you the option to hit those legs hard again, with another HIIT routine, or if they are still just too sore, then you can opt for the easier modifications we show. Remember though, to always listen to your body and if you are too sore to exercise then take a break and start back in on the next day you feel up to it. Pushing yourself is good but over training will only slow you down on your way to reaching your fitness and health goals.

    No matter which way you choose, we will also be tackling the abs, lower back and obliques with a core exercise coupled with each HIIT exercise. The set up used in today's workout will not only allow you to get your heart rate up with some intense HIIT but it will also give you some “rest” while tackling the core.
