Killashee Fitness Session

The Summer Season is upon us and it is time to get working on your Beach Body. Here is a quick 3 minute workout to help you get those Abs and that super toned Tummy. 

Great 3 Minute Abs Workout to build into your next cardio or strength session!

If you're obsessed with a flat stomach, say hello to your new favourite workout. Tag on this quick series of moves to the end of a cardio or strength session, or do it whenever you have time and want to target your abs. Really push yourself: The harder you work, the better results you'll achieve. (Remember your ABS are earned in the kitchen but this routine will ensure they're in great shape)
