One of my favorite training tools is from Russia with love:
KETTLEBELLS
They offer a unique twist on dumbbells that can add some much needed variety to your training routine.
It's also the best tool for my favorite fat loss exercise: SWINGS

5-Minute Gut Blaster Workout
I am a huge fan of pillar training.
It's essentially a step up from core training as pillar training involves the shoulders, hips, AND core.
This week I gave all of my boot camp clients a killer 5-minute abs finisher involving pillar combination exercise... THIS WILL DESTROY YOUR ABS!
Here's the workout and companion video demo:
3-Way Dynamic Pillar- Perform 5 reps/way = 1 Round. Perform Max Rounds for Time in 5 Minutes
Only rest when you absolutely have to by taking short 5-20 s rest periods when form or technique begins to falter.
Due to the constant switching of pillar movements you are able to continuously work your abs for straight 5 minutes... well, to the best of your ability ;)
Alright, have a great weekend, and be sure to smoke those abs with this 5-minute quickie!
Crank it!
