The Workout
Today we're going to challenge our core and lower body with a 35-minute workout led by Kalie Ann. This 35-minute routine uses a combination of two of our favorite formats (Tabata and AMRAP) to maximize your results. It is easy to do in your living room, and no equipment is needed.
Duration
- 35 minutes
Muscles Targeted
- Total body with an emphasis on core and lower body
What You'll Need
- An exercise mat (optional)
How to Use This Routine
This workout is perfect for defining your abdominal muscles and strengthening your glutes, hamstrings and quads. However, if you want to remove excess fat around your midsection, or any area of your body, then we suggest a combination of strength training (such as this one) and cardio 2-4 times per week − depending on your goals.
Make sure to warm up first, as there is not one included in the workout. You'll also want to add a cool down and stretch once you're finished. You can choose one of our warm-ups and cool-down videos HERE, in our exercise library.
Workout Instructions:
- Tabata Rounds: Each Tabata exercise is done for 20 seconds with a 10-second rest between. Repeat the round 4 times, then take a short rest before moving onto the core round.
- Core Rounds: Each core exercise is done for 60 seconds.
- Always do what you can. Push yourself to do your personal best – whatever that may be!
