This set is still the hardest one for me and this is my 3rd time completing it.

Crazy how this doesn’t get easier but my form gets cleaner and I get sweatier!

Very hard! Side plank leg drives were very tough so I had to modify

Side plank hold is hard enough. This was a real challenge but got through it

I really didn’t think I could do it all but I pushed through. A true test of discipline and determination.

Awesome but wow I forgot how hard this was!

OH baby we’ve got an OHbliques burner today! 🔥

I’m posting this one a day early for all of you who live outside of the US and are almost a day ahead!

When we think about core workouts, most of us fixate on the front of our abs. You know, those muscles that create the six-pack. But the abs include a handful of different muscle groups, and it's important to train all of the - whether you're simply trying to get stronger and protect your body from injury, or trying to get more visible muscle definition.

The entire core helps us stay balanced and perform a ton of exercises without falling over or straining our backs, but the obliques in particular have an important role. They're the muscles that run along the sides of the waist, from the ribs to the hip bones. We use them every time we twist our torsos, or bend down to one side or the other. Whether we are performing an athletic movement or a simple every day task like taking clothes out of the washing machine, having strong oblique muscles is highly important!

Today’s circuit is going to set your sides on fire!  🔥

You’ll complete 3 rounds of the given circuit. Do 20 reps of each exercise (10 each side) before moving onto the next move. Rest just 20 seconds or less between each exercise. You get 60-90 seconds to rest between each round.

Good luck!
