Purrfect Abs Workout

Nov 16, 2011 by Tatianna

 

Are you ready to look your best for the epic 2012? I am :), because I’ve slacked enough this year. In Russia we have this tradition, the way you are going to look and feel for the New Year’s Eve, this is exactly how you will spend the whole next year. I am not the superstitions, but this is the tradition I seem to stick with. So this New Years Eve, I am planning on looking and feeling HOT! I hope you are too. I’ve started my mindful eating and listening to my body diet challenge and I am going to step up my game in my training room.
In today’s routine I was focusing on the abs, cardio and strength training. The workout was broken down into 2 parts, first part was interval training, second part was done for time.

In this workout I was using my timer Gymboss Max , a mat, a chair and my 8 lbs non bouncy blue medicine ball and half of my My Pink Lebert .
.

The first part of this workout is going to make you sweat like the snowman during spring time ;), so get your towel ready!
