Cardio/Core Combo Workout

Cardio is not my favorite thing to do so I usually do fast-paced interval cardio workouts like sprints, squat jumps or power step ups.....that way, I'm finished in 20 minutes and I have burned major fat and calories at the same time....do these type of high-intensity workouts no more than 3 days a week with 2 days between each session....

I have found that combining core and cardio workouts work well....this is one I did last week:


--mountain climbers, full speed, 30 seconds
--plank, 30 second hold
--squat jumps, 10, full speed
--bridge, 30 second hold
--walking lunges, 10 each leg
--side plank, 30 second hold
--bodyweight Y squat, 15, moderate pace
--rest 1 minute and repeat circuit 2 more times. 20 minutes total workout time.

Rest more after each circuit if needed. Take rest between exercises if needed. If you can't do an exercise full speed, then try half speed or three quarters speed until you improve.

Happy fat-burning!
