Shed it Now by Anna V.

Have you been challenging your core lately? Crunches are old news! This core circuit will strengthen all the muscles of your midsection especially those deep muscles that support the spine.

If you can’t complete the entire minute and feel pain in your back from weak abdominals then build your way up from 15 seconds, and then 30 seconds, 45, and finally you will reach 60 seconds. Get started today!

EXERCISE OF THE MONTH!

Throw yourself a challenge and add the Pull-up Burpee into your workout routine. Don’t let your workouts get stale or continue to use the same exercises month after month. Adding challenges even if they are modified is a good way to progress in your fitness level. If you can’t do a pull up then do your best and hang for a couple seconds before dropping. You can even modify the push up if needed.

You can train anywhere and maximize your resistance with your own body weight. Check out this quick upper body blast and core circuit. If you don’t have a pull up bar, you can buy the door hook on www.fitnessanywhere.com. Get your next workout in with the TRX!
