6 Minute Core Workout #5

This week we’ll be doing Core Workout #5.

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: Scissors with a Twist and Flutter Kick. 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.

Scissors with a Twist

Start with legs straight and upper body in C-curve
- Perform vertical scissors
Twist upper body in opposition

Flutter Kick

Lie on back with arms out to sides and toes off floor
Scissor kick legs making sure they are 3 to 4 inches off the floor

The Next Steps

Next time, I will feature two more exercises in another workout. That workout will also be approximately 6 minutes long.
