10 Minute Cardio Core Workout

Jodi Sussner
Duration:   10  mins

Description

Get ready to work your core and get your heart pumping in this combination cardio core workout led by Jodi Sussner! In just 10 minutes, Jodi will take you through several ab moves interspersed with cardio drills to burn calories and target your abs. You don’t need any equipment for this workout except your own bodyweight, so get ready to sweat and work those abs in this upbeat, 10-minute workout.

You’ll start your cardio core workout with a quick warm-up before getting right into the exercises. Remember that your core is everything from your ribs to your hips: your abs, obliques, and low back are all technically part of your core! Keep that area engaged the whole time. Jodi will start by leading you through a move that engages your abs: a knee lift coupled with a side kick. Then, you’ll transition to boxer shuffle to get your heart pumping. You’ll alternate a core move with a cardio move like this back and forth throughout the workout. Jodi will also have you perform moves like oblique burners, squats, scissors, plank jacks, and plank thrusters.

In just 10 minutes, you’ll get an amazing cardio core workout that will leave your core strengthened and your heart healthier! Jodi will provide plenty of encouragement throughout this quick workout, before showing you a quick cooldown to bring your heart rate back down. Even if you only have ten minutes, you have time to work your body, build strength, and burn calories. Bodyweight workouts like this are especially great when you’re short on time, because you just need a little space and ten minutes to get a solid workout in. If you liked this workout, you can also try this kettlebell cardio core conditioning workout or this calorie burning cardio workout!

    I miss Jodi! I love her workouts.

    I enjoyed it and thought it was challenging enough in the 10 mins. I had to adjust my pace to keep up which was fine. but great workout.

    Too fast without direction. And for people like me with absolutely no rhythm the boxer shuffle is useless. Sorry but I'm thumbs down in this one.
