You’re now halfway through Svava Sigbertsdottir’s 30-day fat-burning home workout challenge! Day 16 doesn’t require any equipment, so let’s dive in.
Today’s workout includes sumo squats, high planks into downward dog, and side planks—movements that will definitely make you sweat. To get the most out of these exercises, focus on controlling each movement to really engage your core, building both strength and stamina. As Svava says, if it were easy, your core wouldn’t have to work as much. The challenge is what helps you achieve that toned body.
When you start to feel tired, resist the urge to hunch forward to catch your breath, as this can restrict your breathing. Instead, open up your chest and take deep breaths. You’ve got this!
The workout is simple: 10 minutes, five moves, two sets. Perform each move for 40 seconds, followed by a 20-second rest. Then, repeat the whole sequence one more time. Keep pushing through and keep moving.
