@MegMoo153 We have several cardio videos on our channel page for ideas, but really any kind of cardio is beneficial.


@sczemerynski You’ll have to ask your doctor.


@marimositaable Your legs and hip flexors are working during this routine, so yes!

@sparkpeople so, if I wanted to burn off fat and build the muscle, should i do cardio first, THEN the exercises, or vise versa?


This video just keeps getting better and better. The first time it was complicated to follow for me, but after a few tries I am doing the exercises better and better since I don’t have to watch every second to know what they are. Thanks SparkPeople!


so would jump roping be good cardio
i need to loose 10 pounds.
could i do both the cardio and this and still be lean?


Aren’t these modified situps?


Just finished this after doing day 1 of the swimsuit bootcamp. Phew! THANK YOU! This is the jumpstart I needed to get rid of this post-baby pooch :-) Question: Should I work my abs every day?


This is very helpful! thank you!


Good stuff.


Good stuff.


She talks too fast I can’t keep up with when to exhale inhale.

Hey, I usually look up stupid shit on you tube but I’m glad I somehow came across this. Simple, short work out… cool! Thanks for posting.


REALLY WORKS!!!


Great Workout ! :)


Looking forward to using these videos!
Favorited the ones i plan on using daily.


I see. Okay. That makes sense. Thanks for that!


These exercises strengthen and tone the abs and core muscles, but that does NOT burn fat if you have body fat on top of them. Cardio is key for fat loss!


Hi! : ) Thanks so much for your wonderful videos. I can’t wait to benefit even more from them! So just making sure, this particular video does not lose belly fat but sculpts the belly? I don’t really understand if someone could please explain to me. Thank you! : )
Love,
