Core Extravaganza!

Your front and back body will thank you!

Team!
Take your core conditioning to another level with this two-part core training extravaganza!  Part 1 is 15 minutes of core, endurance and upper body strength, then in Part 2 we take that mid-section fatigue over the finish line targeting your front and back body! 
Enjoy!
