17-Min Core and Cardio Burn Workout – No Planking and No Equipment Abs Exercise

Please follow and like us:

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to today’s workout! We are focused on strengthening our Core today. This routine also incorporates cardio bursts. I love combining core workouts with cardio so I built it into this routine. One round of this workout will take about 17-Minutes, and this can be repeated up to 3X. I was super busy yesterday so I only got in one round of this workout, but it’s one that I would like to repeat.

This workout has no Planks or exercises that put pressure through the wrist or carpal tunnel. Sometimes it’s nice to have a hands free workout option. For the cardio burst segments of the workouts, you can pick any cardio you would like. I switched between rope-less jumping and high knees. Some other ideas are: Marching in Place, Mountain Climbers, Burpees, Kettlebell Swings.

This routine has some fun new moves, let me know if you have a favorite exercise!

New Adventures

I have been filming a lot of new workouts lately, and being consistent with my workouts has me feeling AMAZING! My legs have actually been sore this week, which almost never happens. My energy has been better. I’m starting to see more definition through my abs and arms, which is a nice bonus.

I have launched an exclusive membership site! If you want even more new workouts and bonus content I would love to have you join me at https://www.melissabenderfitness.com There is a 3-Day Trial and you can cancel anytime (but hopefully you will like the new workouts so much that you won’t want to!)

So far I have a new 4-Week Workout series (5 workouts per week, plus two journal prompts) and I am continuing to add new workouts. The exclusive workout videos will grow weekly as I add new content. I’m also adding ad free versions of the workouts that I share here.

Because it’s my first month, I have a lifetime discount for any founding members (it stays active as long as your membership is active!) The discount code is JULYFOUNDERS20 and is good through the end of July 2023.

I hope you enjoy today’s workout! Let me know what you think and which exercise was your favorite and which you found most challenging. See you soon!
