10 Minute: Tighter Waist Core Workout: Workout for a Smaller Waist

Hi Everyone!
This was my workout today. Today's workout if focused on strengthening and toning the core, and creating a leaner/tighter waist. I chose several moves that utilize the deep abdominal muscles.
The deep abdominal muscles act like a muscular corset to create a leaner and stronger mid-section. When combined with cardio this is a really great workout for strengthening and sculpting your abs.
I paired today's workout with a 6.27 mile run outside. I am trying to get back into the habit of making Sunday my long run day. I haven't been getting in much consistent mileage lately so I am slowly going to build up the length of my Sunday runs.
If you aren't a runner I listed a cardio option below, or you can pair this with one of my Cardio Workouts for a bonus cardio challenge.
Jesse and I also completed the #ALSIceBucketChallenge and made a donation to the ALS Association.
You can find the video here: Bender Fitness #ALSIceBucketChallenge.

Have fun! Feel free to laugh at me if you check out the Ice Bucket Challenge video. I despise being cold (I was less nervous to go Sky Diving than I was to dump that water on my head!)

See you tomorrow!
Melissa
