Carve a strong midsection even when you’re short on time!
I totally slept in the other day. My alarm went off in the morning so I could get in a quick workout before going to work. I rolled over and turned the alarm off and thought to myself “Man, I’m tired… I’ll just lay here for a minute.” The next thing I know I rolled over and looked at my clock and 25 minutes had passed! Knowing it was going to be a long day and knowing that I still didn’t want to skip on my workout I tried to come up with the most complete, efficient core workout that I could that would take less than 10 minutes to complete. Here’s what I came up with – affectionately referred to from now on as my “Sleep-in Workout”… just gotta work twice as hard tomorrow!
Single Leg Bridge
30 seconds each side (you should get through 15-18 reps on each leg)
60 seconds total
Side Plank with Hip Lift
30 seconds each side (again – shoot for about 15 lifts per side)
60 seconds total
Swimmers (prone alternating extension)
60 seconds
Plank
(can add alternating leg lifts to make it more challenging)
60 seconds
Repeat this series of these 4 exercises twice for a killer, 8-minute core shredder!
