This workout is hard! Normally I find Jenny Ford’s workouts to be a little on the easy side, so this video caught me by surprise. It was brutal!

It starts out in plank, which is okay in that it starts off with a lighter move that warms up the body. As a result, you may not need a long warmup before this video.

The real challenge, I think, comes when she shifts onto the back. There rest of the moves are not difficult to execute, and Jenny definitely gives you a great explanation on the form, but they burn like crazy. There aren’t a lot of reps for each move, thankfully, but I still had to stop in the middle of almost every one. There are no breaks, either!

This workout holds no punches, but you will love how much it makes your abs burn! Definitely recommended!
