Waist Burner

We all struggle with getting rid of those pesky love handles or the "muffin top" so I thought I would throw in this supplemental exercise that can be done on a day where you want to try something new. Make sure you always keep your core pulled in tight so you protect your back. Also, breathe!! And don't strain your neck.
 I would also recommend doing some light stretches before starting this workout (things like "cat/cow" and child's pose)
Please Note: I have linked some of the unfamiliar moves to other posts that explain them :)

Circuit 1:
30 Jumping Jacks
5 Burpess

20 Second Side Plank -each side
30 Second Plank

Circuit 4:
20 Mountain Climbers
10 Side Leg Lifts - each leg
20 Mason Twists
Rest 30 seconds to 1 minute then go to next circuit

Circuit 5:
30 Second Plank
20 Oblique Crunches
6 Burpees
Rest 30 seconds to 1 minute then do the whole thing again.*
*If you are too tired to do all of it again, decrease the reps to half as much. See how many times you can get through it without compromising form! If once is all you can do than great! That is A LOT!
