Fab 5 Body Weight Workout

Start your workout with a warm up of exercises that will get your heart rate up for at least 5-10 minutes and add some dynamic stretching. You could use a cardio machine or body weight. Moves like jumping jacks, run on the spot, skipping ropes, side skaters, high knees, push ups and any exercise that gets your heart rate up and muscles feeling warm is great. Listen to your body.
