Description

Five core exercises that’ll make your abs burn. This HIIT workout is made for your six-pack.

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is one of the most popular and most effective training methods. Not only does it burn fat; it also challenges your muscles. Complete all 5 exercises one after the other for 30 seconds each, with a 30-second break in between. Then you can rest for up to 2 minutes. Repeat the full set of exercises 3-4 times.

If the beginner burpees are a little too easy for you, you can replace them with basic burpees. Always make sure that your exercise is clean and controlled and keep your body under tension.

Warm up well before you start training! Have fun with our workout.

Now use the power of your core muscles to pull your upper body upwards. Don’t swing yourself upwards with momentum, and don’t move your arms or head along with your abs.
