Kiki

Great ab burner after doing 5miles. 🔥🔥🔥

Shanele

performed with the right rhythm, even if apparently simple, you can feel that the abdomen is working really well!😄

Barbi

100 weeks!! Of putting myself a priority and pushing to new levels of strength. Mentally and physically! Soo fricken pumped and thankful for you!

Markie

Takes a lot of focus to keep core engaged.

Diedra

4 exercises
Done back to back minimal rest
3 rounds

Windshield wipers
Toe touches
Pretzel crunches
Side plank dips

Windshield Wiper

First reps are wrong! Momentum is used to lift chest off the ground. Crunching has no core engagement

Make sure to maintain engagement and keep shoulder blades off the ground ever so slightly!

Toe Touches

You can make this more difficult by taking support foot off the ground! 15 reps each side

Pretzel crunches

3 different variations for fitness levels! Choose the one that works best for you

12 reps each side

Side hip dips- progressions shown

Killed me but LOVED IT 💪🏼🤍 felt soooo strong midway and towards the end, almost cried out of joy 😅

Heba

Guys guys guys this was brutal. I decided to make this workout into 4 sets instead of 8 so I ran for 3 minutes, 20 push press, 10 walking lunges and so on and when I was done I had to lay down in the middle of the gym 🤣🤣. Don’t get me wrong this was fun and I loved it but it is not easy.

Nada Alabbar

Cardio/Strength 11.23.22

Took me about 40 mins with the transitions but an awesome workout!

Marissa

Absolutely love your cardio workouts! The intervals go so fast and I like having non running options. At 5 months pp the elliptical is perfect! Thank you!!

Great quick little finisher. Ofc sound and instructions but I know this was years ago.

It was good, especially the first few weighted exercises!

Jenna

1 set of this and I’m done! lol I’ve been trying to strengthen my core for awhile and I hate it. But I love this workout! I try to end my workouts with this one. Soon I’ll have a stronger core.

Chelsi

Great core workout. My abs are on 🔥🔥🔥

12 Min Core Circuit 10.13.22

Samantha

Perfect Saturday workout! I love how easy your cardio workouts are to manage on any machine or cardio exercise!!

Didn't skip the sprints 👍 but need to push myself harder 👎 wasn't my best effort towards the end, let the heat get to my head and let up... I know I could have given it more. Love this workout because it's not just physical but mental!!!

Running/Cardio Workout 9.30.22

As always, love your cardio workouts! Got it done on the eplitical!

Beatrice

Technically my off day from the Foundational Strength program, but I wanted to get moving and I had energy today! Plus a good running workout sounded amazing 🤮 loved it!

Rachel T

Running/ Cardio Workout 9.23.22

3/23/25 Houston, Tx Humidity… I think the at counts as double the accomplishment 🥵

Just what my body needed. Got nice and sweaty & much needed movement.

Running/Cardio 9.16.22

Lungs BURNING! I think my soul left my body ☠️ It was a mental fight at the end but feels so good!

Thankful for your message halfway through.  That was very tough but made it through 🏃‍♀️

Running + lifting 8.15.22

Needed something quick and has a run. My numbers have improved drastically, the renegade rows I can do them now with 30lbs dbs🥹🥹 and I can sprint at 10mph for 30sec and feel fine🩷 thank you Hannah for helping me build my strength and stamina!

Amy Ball

Running lifting challenge 7.27.22

Sprint pace is getting faster 🔥 really focusing on bringing my heart rate back down on the easy run and accepting a slower pace if necessary. It's paying off bc i feel faster!!

Came back after the hell she (this week) gave me earlier this week.... crushed it!!! Really into the quick burst runs/cardio right now, more please!!

Head wasn't in it, felt really hard today. Not my best effort. Did the first interval and then switched to an EMOM. Tomorrow will be better.

Running/Cardio 5.23.22

Really had to push the last 2 minutes of each set - was very in my own head. But even still, I increased speed each time amd fought thru. Reminding myself hard summer runs will make for a faster fall. My mind needed the win today.

The last 8 kicked my ass, let the mental fight win with 2 minutes left. Disappointed but know I can do it. Saving to do again in the near future!

Went for time instead of distance. Increased speed on repeats. Was hard. Really hard. The temp&humidity definitely played a role. Ready for cooler temps to see what the legs can do. Summer running is frustrating when you can't hit paces you want but I know the work now will make for a faster fall.

Running/Cardio 5.12.22

On a cardio kick again 🙃 love that I can find a good variety of workouts to do! Quick & effective - nice and sweaty!!

Really enjoying playing with pacing on the sprints. Definitely noticing improvements already. Can't wait for the temps to drop and really REALLY push my all outs.

This was brutal for me.....never knew I could go at 6mph for 2mins 💪 felt so good! 
did all 4rounds...2.15m

Sumaiya

Cardio/Running 4.27.22

Allegra Agabian

Tough is an understatement. Big mental game with this one. My booty will be sore tomorrow from the inclines.

Running/Cardio 4.20.22

5/5 but ☠️ want to hate it but I can't 😂
Freaking hard, like really freaking hard.

Had time for 6 rounds, can't imagine 8... would really have to play the mental game and push myself. Played with sprint pace a bit while on the treadmill, happy but know I can do more.

Trying to implement more cardio but this is making me question my decision 😂

Brenna

Running/Cardio 4.13.22

☠️☠️☠️
Got 4×1min in before I had to call time. Definitely want to get all 8 next time - need to give myself the minutes to be able to. The 4min felt like forever! Worked up a sweat and feeling it!

Can I swear here? Is that allowed? Because  &!^#&!*;@;$, that was hard! 🥵😂☠️ BUT I think I've been severely underestimating my cardio fitness level. I set the treadmill at paces I thought would be a challenge, and some felt too comfortable. I worked my way up where appropriate but still felt I may have been able to take it up a notch - and that's with tight legs after yesterday's lift. Definitely want to revisit this when properly hydrated and after a good stretch to see what the legs can do.

Running/Cardio 4.6.22

Went for 30 minutes, and I felt good, so finished at 4 miles! Body needed something simple today and once we got into a rhythm it felt GOOD!

30 minutes on the bike! 10 minute full body circuit after.

Running/Cardio 3.30.22

Love this format. Time flies by.
Got 3 rounds in...30mins 2miles! 🔥🔥🔥

Got four rounds in feeling refreshed! Love these cardio workouts please keep them coming!

Lacey

Running/Cardio 3.23.22

Set a 35 minute timer and increased speed .2mph at the end of every song instead of 5min. Was trying to not focus on time and just run - definitely worked!! Coming back to this soon and starting at a faster pace 😈

Still getting my legs back after a week at sea - had to go slow down but still nice and sweaty/got the heart going!

Love that there is a good variety of cardio workouts!! The mental fight at the end is my favorite part of this one!

Running/Cardio 3.9.22

FL humidity made this way harder than previous times, reminding myself that hard summer runs make for a faster fall.

Carina

This pattern really took the monotony out of the workout and kept me in tune with my body’s effort. Thank you 😊

Averee

Running/Cardio 3.2.22

Great quick core routine after a workout.

I really like this! I did 3 rounds for a little ab workout. The follow along is great because I don’t have to stop a lot.

Jessi

Verbal guidance and queues when switching would be helpful!

9 Min Core Circuit 2020

Love this one for really trying to focus of improving my core/pelvic floor

Ashley

I love this one, I need to work on my form though, still haven't got it quite right

Marie

This is hard to do mentally, I think I need to slow down because my breathing went out the window and it was just belly breathing/chest breathing. 
Do you squeeze both knees together?

6 Min Inner Core + Hip Work 2020

My abs are on fire!!! Loved doing this as a finisher
