Full Body Power Through
Print Workout Here
I’ve been all about less moves more burn lately! There’s a great little ab burner at the end that you’ll love. The slower the better with the abs ? You’ll be done today in only 22 minutes!
What you will need:
- Just yo’ sexy self
Warm-Up:
- Open Leg Squats + Leg Swings Forward Back + Squat Arm Circles
Workout: 4 minute circuit / 1 min break – alternate the moves each minute 3 x thru
Set 1
- Skaters – Jump to the left with your left foot and let your right foot come back and behind you (picture speed skaters). Then jump to the other side. Do this for 10 reps total. If you need to eliminate the jumping no problem just take wide steps. Be sure to keep your back nice and straight here.
Modification: Squats or back lunges - Tricep Walks with Lateral Plank Walk – Get into high plank and bring your right elbow down to the floor directly under your shoulder followed by your left. Bring your right hand back up under your shoulder followed by your left. It’s so important for your elbows and hands to be under your shoulders at all times. Once you have done 1 walk do a side plank walk. Once you have moved to your new position repeat the tricep walk then plank walk back to the starting position. Do your best to not let your hips wiggle. You can do the tricep walks from your knees then come to your toes to plank walk.
Modification: Lat pull backs with marching twist: from standing raise your arms up in a V. Using your back muscles bring your bent arms down so you make a W shape. You should feel this through your shoulder blades as well as across your bra line. Make sure you control your arms back up. Do 2 of these then bring your right leg up with your knee opening up to the outside of your right body and twist through your upper body to bring your left elbow towards your right knee. Repeat on the other side then back to the lat pulls.
Set 2 – do this 2x thru for 1 minute each time.
- Dead Bug Extensions – Laying on your back roll your hips and squeeze your bum so your back is flat to the floor. Either with your feet flat on the ground and knees bent in a tent position or raised in the air extend one leg forward towards the floor and the opposite arm back behind you. Bring them back up slowly and repeat on the other side. Do these as slow as you possible can to get an unreal burn.
Cool Down/Stretching
- Complete 5-10 minutes of nice gentle stretching.
High Fives For Sweaxy Times!

Done. My dead bugs must not be quite right as I feel my quads or some part of my legs trying to help and not as much burn in abs. I work hard to keep back flat and there is no strain there so it sure. These sometimes work me and sometimes I do them wrong, I think. But great otherwise!
It’s great at you realized your abs aren’t doing all the work. Dead bugs are the #1 move to help build core strength so don’t give up on them. Try a different variation, perhaps with your feet flat on the ground and really concentrating on that core. Great work on being so in tine with your body!
Definitely got my heart pumping and shoulders aching!! Happy Monday Everyone!
Love it!!
Phew! Monday morning, done!
