THE WAIT IS OVER!

I finally got my ass (no pun intended) in gear and put together my fitness routine that makes getting those killer abs & lifted ass easy & do-able in 30 minutes! These sets are designed to work your core & glutes non-stop and can be done anywhere – no gym necessary!

From your apartment floor (like I usually do) to your favorite outdoor space, this routine should give you results within 3 weeks after continuous repetition. Along with a 1-2 mile run, I normally work my abs every other morning before my run and my ass right before I hop in the shower.

*Disclaimer: this is the routine I’ve made for myself and sharing with you guys as per the many requests I’ve received. I cannot guarantee exact results, as every one’s body is different. These are suggestions of workouts that have worked for me and might work for you as well!
