At-Home Cardio Workouts: 12 Minute Cardio Day 2 Descriptions

Side Abs & Side Jumps

Side Abs work your obliques, part of your core. Ensure proper form, using an ugi ball, or whatever you can find around the house. Power through these lifts making big, powerful movements. Also, focus on your breathing, as well as, your form.

Walkover Pushups to Knee-to-Elbow Planks

Here, you start with a standard push-up. Then, you roll the ball across you, walking it over. Then, you will transition into a plank. Make sure the ugi ball is stabilized during your planks. Walkover Push-ups will work your arms, while planks will charge your core. If this exercise is too difficult, you can always do push-ups on knees, while you gain strength.

Ski Abs & In-Outs

Here, you will continue to work your abs, and the rest of your core. Pull your abs in tight, to feel yourself working your core. In & Outs are similar to mountain climbers, but you move both legs at once.

Mountain Climbers

Mountain Climbers are a good exercise to work your core while burning calories at the same time. Keep your butt down during this exercise to work your core, glutes, quads, and hamstrings.

Straight Arm Ugi Lifts With Jumping Jack Criss Crosses

This seems like a standard “clean” movement, while holding an ugi ball. But, you infsue a criss-cross jumping jack afterwards to work your legs.

At-Home Cardio EquipmentGet A Ugi Ball or Weighted Object

Resistance training makes your cardio workouts much more effective. At-home cardio equipment helps make that resistance training happen. Use a Ugi Ball or a weight that allows you to maintain proper form, but challenges you on each exercise. If you don’t have an ugi ball, try to find a suitable object around your house.
