It's Tuesday! Time for some core work! Some of the exercises in this workout may not seem like core exercises to you. We tend to think of crunches and planks when we do this kind of muscle work, but once you try doing squats and lunges while holding a weight overhead, your core will be saying, "Oh yeah, I'm feeling it!"
This workout is from Befit's 30 day 6 pack abs. Once again, sculpted abs are more than just core exercises, they are about healthy eating and cardiovascular work as well.
As far as form goes, I agree with her, faster is NOT better. Slow and controlled is always better when doing core work. He goes a bit fast on some of the exercises.
On the lunges and squats, don't take your knees past 90 degrees and keep them in line with your ankles. Don't drop your bottom lower than your knees--you want your thighs parallel to the floor. Bending more than this is really hard on your knees and the benefits just don't outweigh the risks as far as I'm concerned.
As usual, do a warm up first and a lower body stretch afterward.
