Fitness Tip of the Day: Tuesday's Trunk and Core -- Ab Cardio Circuit Training Workout

Today's workout comes from the 30 day 6 pack Abs program from BeFit.  It is a circuit training workout that includes both fat burning cardio and muscle toning exercises to work the entire body with a focus on your abs.

It consists of 14 exercises that are performed for 30 seconds each with a 15 second rest in between.  Each exercise is performed once.  Take a longer rest if you need to, but you do want to keep your heart rate up the whole time.

No warm up is provided.  Please do one on your own.

But wait, I've included a Fatigue and Hold Challenge to do first.  It consists of 2 exercises that are done for 60 seconds and then 30 seconds doing as many reps as you can with no rest in between.  The last exercise is a plank--holding it for 2 minutes--drop to your knees if you absolutely have to.  Write down your results and repeat this challenge in 4 to 6 weeks to see how much you've improved.

Here's the cardio circuit:

No cool down or stretch is provided.  Please do these on your own as well.
