Core Workout for Runners. There are countless different ways to train with intervals.

Core Workout for Runners

One popular method? Tabata training. Popularized by researcher Izumi Tabata back in 1996, this form of high-intensity interval training calls for 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest, completing at least 8 rounds. The study, conducted by Tabata and fellow researchers, found the method significantly increased participants’ VO2 max, a benchmark of cardio fitness, after a six-week period. This improvement can result in better overall performance during both longer endurance rides and hard, fast efforts.

You can use Tabata training for virtually any workout, whether it be intervals on the bike or a core workout like this one, created by Dane Miklaus, C.S.C.S., founder of WORK Training Studio.

Whenever I ordered ice cream (you know, in times when one could still pay for a scoop), I always asked for chocolate sprinkles on top.

The resistance band Pilates workout that will light up every single muscle

I like to think of resistance bands as the jimmies that add a little extra something, something to any workout—and this week’s Good Moves episode, hosted by East River Pilates instructor Floss Brolsma, proves that resistance band Pilates is no exception. In just a half an hour, you’ll move through a full-body Pilates session that dials up Pilates’ signature, slow-mo movements with the help of the bands.

Not sure how to sort the wheat from the chaff? 30 Best Pilates Youtube Workouts For All Fitness Levels. These days I try to make sure every type of workout I do involves some abs exercises. And on the days when I really want to focus on strengthening my core, I'm torn between doing classic moves on the mat like crunches, or more full-body moves like planks, side-planks and twists.

Wellandgood. How to Do a Lateral Lunge With a Knee Drive. I'm all about exercises that work more than one muscle group at once (aka compound exercises), especially when I'm short on time because I hit snooze seven times before deciding to wake up. One exercise I really like doing is the lateral lunge with a knee drive. It works your gluteus medius — the muscle on the side of your butt, which helps with stability — your abdominal muscles, which also help with stability, and your quads. In my opinion, the lateral lunge with a knee drive is one of the best bodyweight moves you can do for lower-body strength. Another reason I like this exercise: we often neglect lateral movements, and to function at our best, we should train in all planes of motion.

If you're ready to upgrade from the classic lunge and feel your muscles light up, keep reading.

Try Meg Takacs 6 minute abs workout for a stronger core. I like to track my workouts by how many songs it takes to finish them. A three-mile run suddenly seems a lot more manageable when I realize it will only take me six or seven Justin Bieber tracks to get through it, and 45 minutes on a spin bike is basically just nine Ariana Grande jams before I’m outta there and onto brunch.

So when I found out that this week’s Trainer of the Month abs series would only take six minutes—AKA less than two songs—I was pumped. “That’s nothing!” I thought to myself. Boy, was I wrong. Pop on your favorite playlist and follow along with Takacs to burn out those abs, and don’t forget to check back next week for an entirely new workout.
