6 Minute Core Workout #4
In April of 2020, we talked about 20 Core Exercises that didn’t include traditional crunches or sit-ups. This week we’ll be doing Core Workout #4.
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 workouts.
This is a Tabata style workout that features 2 Core Exercises: Horizontal Scissors and Bicycle Crunches. 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.
Horizontal Scissors
- Start with hands under butt and legs straight
- Lift legs to 45-degree angle
- Then have legs go out to the sides as if doing jumping jacks and cross in the middle
Bicycle Crunch
- Lie on back with leg straight and hands behind head
- Lift shoulders and legs off floor, keeping neck neutral
- Bring R knee to chest, hold for a few second, then continue alternating
The Next Steps
Next time, I will feature two more exercises in another workout. That workout will also be approximately 6 minutes long.
