Mix & Match Ugi Ball Workout
Print Workout Here
I must apologize first by saying I was out of it for this workout, so I screw up on my cues a couple times. Nonetheless, it’s still an awesome workout and I think you guys will enjoy the mix and match to switch it up a bit. Today, I only need 25 minutes of your time. Let’s do this!
What you will need:
- Ugi ball, kettlebell or dumbbell
Warm-Up
- 1 minute and 20 seconds of simulated jump rope
Workout – 60/20
- Burpee with forward and backwards jumps – Let’s get that cardio going with some burpees! Complete one burpee followed by a forward and backward jump, landing nice and low on every single jump here…there’s lots of them!
Modification: If you need to modify the jumps, you can simply walk your body in and out of burpees, and then do a forward and backward squat walk when you get up.
- Lateral jumps + push-ups – Using my mat as a reference point, I jumped from side to side 10 times balancing myself on one foot to challenge my balance, stability muscles and core. I followed this with ten push-ups as quick as I could with good form, before coming back up for some more jumps!
Modification: You can always do those push-ups on your knees, but only if you absolutely need to friends! - Alternating forward lunges with Ugi balls twists – Alternate forward lunges while twisting the Ugi ball or weight over your front leg. Make sure you don’t lean forward, and you bend deeply into your back leg. Exhale when you twist, to really pull those abs in!
Modification without a weight: Make “Charlie Angel” arms by interlocking your fingers and locking your elbows. Lift and twist this over your front leg! - Supine weight lift – Keeping your head on the ground and your lower back flush with the mat as much as you can, lift your arms up at the same time as your feet and bring them directly over the body to contract those abs….all while keeping your lower back and head on the ground!! Very important!
Modification: If you don’t have a weight in your hands, you could always increase the intensity by doing a full ‘v-up’, bringing your hands and feet together while balancing on your bum instead of lying on your back. - Full sit-ups + mason twists – Once again, with the ball in your hands, do a full sit up and then hit the ball off the ground (don’t do this if you have weights) 6 times, followed by 6 mason twists side to side while leaning back.
**Do these 5 exercises 3 times through without a break!
Get sweaxy,

Great workout. Love the ugi.
That was definitely an ass kicking! My only comment is “Buck Furpees!” lol
Haha perfect! That makes me happy!
Great work out. First time back in a long time. Felt great. My core and balance were really off. I’m sure I’ll see a big improvement once I’ve worked out a few more times this week.
Yeah that means you worked hard! Thanks for joining Tara
Had jury summons today so this was a great workout after that boredom!
Totally! Jury duty sucks!
Love the ugi workout. Thanks Ash

It was an absolutely gorgeous day here in London. First real sun shining warmish day that put me in such a good mood I decided to do another workout this was a goody!!!
Haha I love it! Did the same and then got out for a walk with Matt to get some sun on the face!
I love using the UGI at home. Lots of abs in the last 2 workouts, I like it!

Damn straight!
My 7 year old daughter and I did this together tonight. It about killed me! I haven’t done burpies in a very long time and I am much heavier than I was then. Luckily my daughter kept telling me., “It’s okay Mom, you can do it.”. Shanna says, “This was the tiring workout. I really enjoyed it even though it was tiring. My mother sweated…and I like your kitties.”
Oh man this is amazing! You’re awesome Cass, not only for pushing through but being this kind of role model for your daughter….or is it the other way around? Lol. She sounds awesome. High five her for me.
I will be honest….not one of my favourites but still super sweaty and feeling good :) woot woot!
Maybe not one you’ll come back too, but love that you got sweaty!
Great workout! Man i’m sweatin!
Amazing! You’re on track with these workouts Mandy! Keep it up!
Done! Sweat is dripping off my face! Good after-work sweat!
That’s what a like yo hear! Good work Steph!
I couldn’t do the burpees and push-ups very well because my shoulder muscle strain is still on the mend but I still managed to sweat a lot.
You take care of it for now so it can rock later. Maybe go see a sports massage therapist. There’s a great one in Bowmanville called Hands In Motion.
I’ve been a vacation SLACKER! Back from a week and a half of being a total slob on a beach so this completely kicked my ass!!
Amazing! Welcome back lady! Now my turn! Hehe
I don’t know if I’m just weak, but that was a good arm workout! :)
You’re not weak…it was just a good one Ash!
Just finished two workout…feeling soooo much better now :)
Dripping!! I like that one (well maybe not the burpees, lol).
Thx
Sweaty Betty!
Am I insane because I loved the burpee jump squats??
Or maybe I just love what they will do for me!
Back at it after a family trip to Ottawa for a few days – lots of stair climbing there!!
A very active few days – walked 21 km in one day!!!
Still hate the burpee!!
Done! Super sweaty after this one!
Done and really liked this workout…..thanks!
Done! Thanks as always for kicking my butt ?
Done! Liked this one!
Done
6:30 am and done…..you’d almost think I had someplace to go! Always a good start to the day….lockdown or not.
