Abs: Core Strength

Hello Fit Squad! Here is a new ab routine for you to tackle. No chit chat on this one- let's get right into it!

There are 4 stations in this workout. You will do each station twice. If you are a beginner do each station once.  Set your interval timers for 45 seconds of work and 30 seconds of "rest". Even though you're setting it for rest, you'll actually be holding plank immediately after the 45 second interval. Rest for 2 minutes between stations.  There will be video of how to perform these exercises properly after the breakdown.
