HIIT Workout
To slim your waist and define your abdominal muscles are among the main goals of those who start exercising. Adopting a proper diet, changing one’s eating habits if necessary, is essential to achieve these goals.
In addition to diet, it is important to adopt an exercise routine designed to train the “core” area of our body. With the right exercises, perseverance and willpower, satisfactory results can get achieved in a relatively short time.

Perform the routine following these rules to optimize results:
- Perform four movements in total.
- Each exercise must last one minute.
- Rest for 15 seconds between exercises
- Keep up the pace of the exercises, but if you feel pain, stop.
