I’ve got a special treat for you (insert my best coach “evil chuckle” here!).
It’s a sneaky core and upper body workout that you can do almost anywhere… requires no equipment (although you can use some if you want)… and it takes just 10-15 minutes.
This kind of workout is PERFECT for when you’re traveling or don’t have much time.
But also… if you DO have more time, you can turn this already effective workout into a longer session by expanding the cardio breaks to 3-5 minutes.
CORE & UPPER BODY BLAST WORKOUT
Warmup: Do some easy cardio (brisk walking) and dynamic stretches (arm circles, trunk rotations, etc.)
THEN, repeat this circuit 2-3x:
- Push-up – 60 seconds (demo)
- Russian Twist – 60 seconds (demo)
- Half-Kneeling Wood chop – 60 seconds (30 seconds each side) (demo)
- Plank Drag Through – 60 seconds (demo)
- Cardio Break (Examples: Walking, High Knees, Jumping Jacks, etc.) – 60 seconds
Cool down to return heart rate to normal and stretch.
TIPS: If you don’t have access to weights for the Russian twist, wood chop, or plank drag-through, you can hold anything from a shoe or book to a backpack! Or just use your body weight.
Try to do as many reps as you can with good form in 60 seconds… take breaks as needed!
“Portable” workouts like this help you to be consistent, which is one of the biggest keys to getting (and staying) stronger, fitter, and healthier!
Another key? Coaching and accountability!
