The Cardio/Core Workout in 20 Minutes

This workout involves no dedicated rest periods. You are only going to get a break in the few seconds between exercises and sets. If you keep moving, you will burn a lot more calories and fat.

Run through each of these exercises in a circuit. If you have more time, try doubling it up for twice the impact.

 

1. Sprint Warm-Up, 3 minutes

Start this core and cardio circuit off with 2 minutes of sprinting. Not only is this a great way to get warmed up, it’s also a serious fat-burner!

 

2. Bench Step-Ups, 2 minutes

Grab a couple of dumbbell weights and a workout, and hold your core tight and engaged as you alternate between steps. Make sure you keep your back straight throughout.

3. Ab Twist with Cable Pulley, 12 reps per side

Find a cable machine and set a single hand pulley at mid-height. Stand perpendicular to the cable machine, grip the handle with both hands, and engage your core and oblique muscles as you twist and pull away.

5. Woodchopper, 15 reps per side

Grab a medium-weight dumbbell and stand with your feet at shoulder width. Start by holding the dumbbell overhead, then engage in a squat as your bring the dumbbell down and across your body. Bring it back to starting and repeat. This one is one of my favorite total-body exercises, and it’s great for your core!

Grab a jump rope and do a little skipping for 3 minutes. This will give some of your muscles a bit of a rest while you engage others, and keep your heart rate raised!

 

7. Bicycle Crunch, 1 minute

Hit the floor, and engage in some bicycle crunches for 1 minute. Make sure you’re moving at a slow, controlled pace throughout.

10. Jumping Jack Cool-Down, 2 minutes

End this circuit workout with a little jumping jack cool down. Start off fast and intense, and start slowing down for the last 30 seconds. It’s a great way to burn a few more calories as you start to bring it down a notch.

 

NOTE: If you are unable to lay your hands on all the workout gears that you need, this is the simplest thing to do…. Just replace that particular exercise with another similar one and still run it for the amount of time or reps or sets allocated to the exercise you could not get its gear…

Let me make it clearer;

You may have to replace Step 3 (Exercise #3-Ab twist with cable pulley) with Step 5 (Exercise #5-Woodchopper) because you couldn’t access Cable pulley gear. So what you do is; Take the Exercise #5 for 12 Reps per side (which is the number of Reps allocated to Exercise #3).
