Core and thighs time!

Hi Everyone! Today I'm targeting your core and inner and outer thigh, two areas of the body that we can't seem to work enough! I'm showing you how to do 4 unique variations of the plough. For these exercises you'll need 2 wash clothes and a hard surface floor. I recommend doing 3 to 4 sets using a variety of these moves. Mix it up to make it fun!

1. Mt Climber Plough- Bring the knees into the chest in a running like motion. Start slow and increase speed keeping your body in a proper position.
2. Plough-Bring the knees to the chest together and push they out to the push up position.
3. Pike Plough-Keep the knees straight as you lift the hips to bring the feet in toward your hands.
4. Plough with abduction/adduction. Keeping the body in a tight push up or plank position, slide the feet in and out to work the inner and outer thigh.

Get creative with these as you become more advanced. You can add in push ups and mix and match all these moves for a killer workout that will be sure to leave your abs screaming for more (or not!!!)

Let me know what you guys think and if you like the videos!
