Maaaaan it was freakin brutal. As I've become what's known as a "Gym Rat", I've met a lot of really hot guys and well you know, I mingle with them. Best part about mingling with fit guys is that you receive a lot of information, and well, they wanna be your personal trainer too! So yesterday I decided to work out with one of the fittest guys at the gym and we got on the subject of core training versus plain old ab workouts. And let me tell you, I've officially said goodbye to situps and the whole boring story of an ab workout. Core workouts get you ripped in more than just your tummy, and the strength you build really allows you to complete everyday chores and movements with ease. From planks to pushups to supermans to lat pulldowns, at first I thought "i dont feel this at all", but this morning i woke up and honey let me tell you... I feel it in my back abs shoulders chest and glutes. we began the session with 20 minutes of HIIT cardio on the treadmill and ended the session with 30 minutes of HIIT cardio on the treadmill. Between the core training and cardio, I know that lactic acid was going crazy inside me burning up all that fat. The human body is awesome!
