6 Minute Core Workout #3
Forever ago, we talked about 20 Core Exercises that didn’t include traditional crunches or sit-ups. I know it’s been forever, but this week we’ll be doing the third 6-minute workout focused on the core.
As you know, my goal is to show you how to get fit at home, so I post workout videos from the comfort of my own home. These videos are not perfect by any means, and I’m okay with that. Most of the time I record them early in the morning to kick start my day. They are real-life, real-time workouts.
This is a Tabata style workout that features 2 Core Exercises: Single Leg Drop and V-Sit Hold. One round of Tabata is four minutes long. By adding a short warm-up and a quick cool down, we get a six-minute workout. That will jumpstart your metabolism today…especially if you do the workout first thing in the morning as I do. The descriptions for each exercise are listed below.
Single Leg Drop
- Lie on the floor with hands under butt
- Start with legs straight up in the air
- Lower one leg until it is a few inches off the ground
- Return to starting position
- Repeat with the other leg
- Control your lower abs and do not allow gravity to take over
V-Sit Hold
- Sit with back at a 45-degree angle, legs in broken V and hands out in front
- Hold as long a possible
- Options
- Lift heels from floor
- Lift legs in air at 45-degree angle
- Move arms either out to sides, straight in air over head or in line with upper body
The Next Steps
Next time, I will feature two more exercises in another workout. That workout will also be approximately 6 minutes long.
