This workout took me just slightly over 15 minutes and is made up of 2 parts. The first part alternated skipping with an ab exercise. If you can not skip, substitute high knees or another cardio exercise. The second part is 9 minutes of intervals, alternating 3 exercises, each done 3 times. This workout has lots of cardio, which is great to get the heart rate up, interspersed with core focused exercises.
This time challenge Ugi workout is really core and abs focused. It has 5 rounds and each round has 40 reps of a different Ugi crunch exercise, as well as a newly designed way to get more burpees in. This innovative burpee strategy worked for me to give them a bit of a new twist. The accompanying squats provide a little extra leg and butt work and it never hurts to do a little extra work on those! Well, it may hurt a bit the next day, but you’ll look fabulous for it and feel great when you look in the mirror. Really we know that being fit is most important for our health and the benefits of these short workouts are worth it to feel great on the inside.. but it’s a serious bonus to look great outside too! || Read more

This metabolism booster workout is 8 minutes of interval training. It consists of 8 exercises and each of these uses sliders. I used furniture sliders and I will post links and suggestions to different options below. This is a great new way to change up the exercises and use different muscles. You will use more stabilizing and core muscles to keep your foot on the slider and control the slide on top of performing the exercise. || Read more
This workout is filled with lots of ab exercises using a medicine ball. It has 10 different ones, so you get a great variety! If you don’t have a medicine ball, just modify by using your body weight or other weight, such as another ball, dumbbell, kettle bell or even a water bottle. There are burpees again, and like a Mom sneaks vegetables into her kids meals I sneak burpees into workouts. They just work. Burpees are a great full body exercise that really works the core muscles. So between these and all the different ab exercises, your core and abs will get a blast! || Read more
