I’m all about fitness challenges that are tough but give results – and this is a 30 day ab challenge that works!

I don’t know about you, but I love to push myself. And since you’ve found your way here, I’m guessing you probably do too.

Or maybe you’re just tolerating the challenge part to get to the abs part – but either way, I’m glad you’re here!

Ab workouts are some of my favorites to do. Strengthening your core helps in all areas of exercise and even in daily activities.

So I decided to write a 30 day ab workout challenge, not only to tone and define, but also to strengthen this crucial area.

Get your game face on – because this 30 minute HIIT workout is intense!

But don’t worry, the rewards are worth it.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts are HUGE right now, and it’s not a wonder why! They allow you to work harder, are super efficient, and absolutely torch calories. Not to mention, they’re great for increasing your endurance and strength, and have numerous other health benefits.

I’m no stranger to weak arms. Growing up a runner, you can bet I never performed a dumbbell arm workout!

Heck, I never learned what a proper push-up looked like…let alone could do one.

My arm weakness became embarrassingly evident when I went to college. I struggled to get luggage into the train’s overhead rack while traveling during Christmas break. And turning a patient during nursing school clinicals was always accompanied by a snide remark about how I’d need help.

I’m definitely not the most buff human around now either, but I never wanted to worry about not being able to lift something by myself. Those little moments were the jumping off points for my dedication to weight training.
