Looking to tone up your tummy? Then definitely consider taking this class!
Whether you're in shape already or want to trim off some of your belly fat from all the fast food you've been indulging in, give Killer Core a chance. Although the name sounds intimidating, I survived the class and so will you!
It begins at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday and lasts only 30 minutes in Studio 11. Taylor Miller is the instructor.
The studio probably had 25 people, so getting there a few minutes ahead of time would be beneficial. At the very least, get there by 4:30. Since the class is a shorter one, arriving late or leaving early might not be worth your time. The class had a mix of BOTH guys and girls.
What is needed during Killer Core is a mat and small weight. Both are provided in the studio. If you are not familiar with ab workouts, sit closer to the front of the room so you can see Taylor.
The class started off with partner ab drills. If you go alone, acquaint yourself with someone near you. The first exercise involved one partner laying on the mat while the other person stood slightly behind their head. The person on the mat held their partner's ankles and swung their feet up to a 90 degree angle. The partner standing then pushed the other person's feet down. Some of the other partner drills involved side crunches and normal crunches, with one partner holding the other's feet in place.
For the remainder of the session, everyone went solo. Drills included crunches, planking, Russian twists (this is what the weight was used for), mountain climbers and bicycles. In my opinion, the Russian twists and planks were the hardest exercises to complete. However, you are welcome to take a break when needed. No one will judge you!
The class ends with a quick stretching segment of yoga and pilates.
Although this class is strenuous, it definitely helps to build the core. You can push yourself hard, or you can ease yourself into some of the drills.
And look at the bright side. Even if you feel like you're in one of Dante's circles of hell, it's only for 30 minutes... not eternity.
