6 Minute Core Workout #7
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 #7.
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: Pulse Ups and Windshield Wipers. 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.
Pulse Ups
- Lie on floor with hands under butt
- Start with legs straight up in the air
- Lift legs toward ceiling, lifting butt off floor
- Imagine that you’re trying to place your footprints on the ceiling
Windshield Wipers
- Lie on back w/ legs bent in chair position and arms to the sides
- Keep knees tight together and move them to the right, the center and the left
- Keep abs engaged and do not allow gravity to take over
- Knees should not touch the floor
- Keep shoulders in contact with the floor at all times
The Next Steps
Next time, I will feature two more exercises in another workout. That workout will also be approximately 6 minutes long.
