The countdown begins here, and it shall start with moves that focus on shredding your core. Before starting your workout routine, however, make sure you do a three- or five-minute warm-up. These are simple movements that can slowly bring your heart rate up and warm up your muscles, like walking, stretching, and jumping jacks.
