Here’s a quickie to get your core engaged. I did this one today after 10 minutes of cardio on the Versaclimber and a lower body workout, but you can also do it on it’s own. Folks – are you seeing a common theme here? I hope to give you chunks, or modules if you will, that can be sliced and diced together to meet your unique needs and schedule.

List of exercises

1. Sit-ups
2. Rope climbs
3. Bicycles
4. Alternating leg lifts
5. Leg throw-downs
6. Scissor kicks
7. Horizontal scissor kicks
8. 1 minute plank hold
9. 30 second shift weight forward and backward in plank
10. Alternating hip drops in plank, and then double time

Some tips before you go

• Aim for 20 reps of each exercise.
• If this is a struggle, try to make sure you do at least 10.
• If this rep count is too easy, up it or add ankle weights for the leg lifts! Trust me…ankle weights will be your best friend.
• Remember to breathe! Holding a plank doesn’t mean holding your breath.
