6 Minute Core Workout #6
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 #6.
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: Reverse Crunches and Clock Abs. 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.
Reverse Crunches
- Start with hands under butt and legs in upside down V
- Lift knees toward the chest, lifting butt off floor
- Keep shoulders and upper back “glued” to the floor
Seated Twist
- Sit with back at a 45-degree angle, with legs in a broken V and together at chest
- Twist torso to R then L, getting elbows as close to the floor as possible
- Upper body remains at 45-degrees the entire time
- Option: lift feet 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.
