4×4 HIIT Workout

This workout is probably my favorite HIIT workouts yet! It definitely one that will leave you dripping in sweat.  I love it because you have 4 rounds that are 4 minutes long and you compete against yourself to see how many moves you can fit into each round.  I love how I can track my progress and see my improvement each time I do this workout.  The best part?  No equipment needed and this workout can be done in your home in 20 minutes!  I tracked and you burn about 300+ calories in this workout.  Get me the 4X4 HIIT workout! >>>

6 Minute Core Sculpting Workout

Are you the person who exercises regularly but can’t get a trim waistline? I may have be able to help you with that.

I typically do three 30-40 minutes of cardio focused workouts each week.  Cardio is great, but it will not tone or sculpt your muscle.  I have already shown you in my 15 Minute  HIIT workout how I tone and sculpt my body, but that workout is only meant to be done 1-3 times per week.  What can I do the other days so I do not neglect my core muscles?  It is simple, add-on a 5 minute core workout at the end of your workouts.  Continue reading “6 Minute Core Sculpting Workout” →
