Whether you're a beginner or advanced, this ab workout is for you
Get ready to whip off your sarong: this workout, created exclusively for Women’s Health by trainer Rachel Cosgrove, combines fat-burning cardio with moves that target your entire core rather than individual muscles, so you'll burn more fat while toning up.DIRECTIONS
Do these moves three non-consecutive days a week. Start with the Basic workout to prime your muscles. After three weeks, you'll be ready to graduate to the Advanced workout.For maximum fat burning, perform the exercises as a circuit: do one set of each move in the order shown, resting for 30 seconds between exercises. Then rest for a minute and repeat the circuit from the beginning.
Melt your middle
Follow this interval cardio program - intervals are short bursts of maximum-intensity effort separated by periods of easy-pace recovery – to fire up your metabolism and burn off the fat that’s hiding your abs.Do this routine three times a week after you work your core - always remember to include a 3- to 5-minute warm-up and cool-down. You can run, bike, swim or use the cardio machine of your choice.

ReplyPut down the MEAT PIE, SAUSAGE ROLL, PIZZA, and the other FAST FOOD CRAP you shovel down ya neck, buy a push bike to go to the shops instead of using the car, learn to eat HEALTHY & you will not be a fat over weight lard ass that needs to spend 2 hours in the gym a day.
Replyjezzur well it shows you know SFA about Japanese females. Unlike Aussies that use the CAR to go any where Japanese use pushbikes. My wife rides 3km to the train station every morning & 3km home again instead of using the car. She is far from being unfit!
