New Video – Beginner Strength Workout
Here is a complete circuit, appropriate for the beginner or even intermediate for a quick butt-kicking. You will hit every part of the body, and keep the heart rate up!

I’m passionate about everybody, of all levels, integrating this exercise into their plan for the following reasons: A strong core helps you push A strong core helps you pull A strong core helps you kick, jump, climb, dance, ride (horses, waves… whatever), run, leap, balance AND A strong core makes you really want to walk around your house naked. NOTHING will make you more comfortable walking around just the way you are, garment-less, than flat, tight, lean abs. So, without further ado, the side plank that’s right for YOU:
