35 Minute Bodyweight Full Body Core I Absolution Day #17

Hey everybody. I'm Amy from Bodyfit by Amy. And this is your body weight full body core workout. This is day 17 of your absolution challenge. In this workout we are going to use no equipment, body weight only exercises to work your full body as well as working the core the entire time every exercise. I'll give you a back to basics option. I'll give you a way to add a little bit more core. We going to keep it moving and get your heart rate up. But don't worry, I'm going to give you lots of options to work to your level. Are you ready? Let's do it. Let's start just getting our muscles warm and ready to go. You can march or jog, whatever feels good for you. Roll through those shoulders, starting small, then taking them bigger to the back. We're going to keep the warm up pretty short because we're going to keep the workout short. So if you need more movement prep, please get it on your own. You can check out the links in the description just below here of extended warm up and extended cool down if you need a little more or just get it on your own. We are gonna get our bodies prepped and ready to go. We are working with no equipment today. It is all body weight and I will, as I always do, give you lots of options. It's going to be a quick workout. Everything we do today we'll have two rounds, so we'll have round one and then we'll immediately go back into it for round two. Three circuits, two rounds, reach in and out, full body with extra focus on the core. Let's hold it right here. Let's reach and reach. I want you to get down into those hips if you want. Reach that arm up. A little bit of balance, right? A lot of balance work today. So a lot of our core work is going to be that balance work, that stability work that we love. Walk those feet in, take it flat, back down and round it up a couple more just like that, just to warm up through the spine. One more and hold it here. Roll those shoulders. We of course will be getting strength and the cardio everything working today. Walk those feet in. Let's get a little squat and a little hip roll. Just sitting low, opening up those knees if you can. Core engaged. Gonna be thinking about our core all day long. One more. Well, we should be all day long, but certainly for the entire length of this workout. Let's take it to a hinge. Hands behind the head, bending at the waist. So we're here. Core engaged. And breathe. Yes. One more if you can. Let's walk it out. So, inchworm, hands down. Walk those hands out. Up to you if that is too much for you or not right for you today, you can take it to your knees or you can keep it just right here, just with a little hinge. Totally up to you. Be where you are today, is what I always say, and work to your little level. Everybody is different in their journey and where they are at any given day. Let's hold this here. You can press up to that down dog. Back to center. Press it up, back to center. Let's get one more. Take those knees across, little tap and center. You can just do a little bird dog here if you're on your knees. Good and breathing through. Walk those hands back, reach it up. Let's tap it back, opening up the hips and the knees. I'm always pretty tight in these hip flexors, but we're going to use them a lot today with our lower body work, but also with our core work, adding some knees to things. Let's hold it here. If this is good for you, stay right here. Otherwise, take it down. Walk that foot away. Reach that arm up, drop that back knee. Take that top arm, reach under and up. And here and step it in. Big step, other side. Take it back, drop it down if that's good for you. Drop that back knee, reach that arm up. And let's take that top arm, reach under and up. Good. Step it in and round it all the way up. Let's tap and reach across. So we like to use the end of that warm up just to get that heart pumping. Still warming up, still dynamic movement prep, but heart rate getting up. Let's take it over your head. All right, here's what we got, team. Three circuits of three moves. A lower body and upper body and a core. I will give you a way to keep it back to basics. And then I will give you a way to add a core. You can do either. I second round, I'll give you some ways to up your intensity even more. Again, all of it is totally optional. You pick what is best for you and where you are today. 40 seconds of work, followed by 20 seconds of rest. One round, then we do it all again. All right, so we are going to start just with a squat to a curtsy. Watch me. You can just keep shaking it out. We're gonna squat it down, cross behind, get low if you can. Then other side, squat it down, cross behind. If you want to add a little core, take that knee across, curts Take that knee to the side. You do what's best for you, but let's get it done for 40 seconds. Zip up that core. Ready? Here we go. Squat, cross, behind, and curtsy. Can't do that. Squat, cross, behind, and curtsy. That's your back to basics. If you want a little core, take that knee across. Take that knee to the side. We're not rushing it, but we're getting obliques, right cross, internal obliques, external obliques. Take it across and then there's that balance. Either way, you're getting the knees pulling in for the core. A little bit of balance to make you work even harder. Five seconds, breathe. Let's get it done. Yes. And shake it out. All right, not too bad. All right, let's take it down. Here's what we got, team. We're going for our basic push up, knees or toes here. And then we're running it into a mountain climber for four. If you're modifying it, push up from your knees. And bird dog. Here we go. 3, 2, 1. Here's your basics. Push up. This is also your modifier. Maybe if you're in the pre or early postnatal phase. Or take it push up. Knees or toes, bring it up. Mountain climber is your extra. You can also do straight up push ups. It's totally where you are. I'm doing 4, 3, 2, 1. With those runs. Or take it in. Tap it up. Tap for two. Yes, you can. Four, three, five seconds. Get it done. And up. Four, three, two. Yes. We're gonna stay down right here. All right, so we're gonna take it with a little reach around on your back. So you're here to here, and then you're here to here. Taking it down. Zip up that core to modify. Just take it to a bridge. We got three, two, one. So I want you to feet down, reach around. You can keep it just right here. Back to basics. Or we're adding inside and outside of the heels. So outside of the heels with a little crunch, lift it up. Inside, inside. Take it down. Reach, reach. Take it up inside. I want you to really think about that deep core. If you need to relax it down, just take it to the bridge. That's your modifier or your back to basics. Either one. But reach around to those heels. Reach up to those heels. Keep it going. Last one. Yes. Good. Back up on your feet. Carefully. We are doing it all again. Now. You know what you're doing. That first round is kind of crazy, getting it all in, but we got that squat to curtsy cross, knee, side knee if you want. You decide how low you want to get on each. Let's get it done. Last time. Here we go. Squat, cross, curtsy, side, low to high balance, and core. If you're really feeling this, you can add a little jump breathe up. But again, totally optional. We just want that core working. You can also just be here. Back to basics. You do you. 10 seconds to go. And up. Yes. One more. Boom. You did it. Down on the mat, there's that heart rate, right? So we've got your push up on your knees, on your toes. You can do quadruped on all fours, push up to bird dog, or push up to mountain climber. Either one is good. Zip it up. 3, 2, 1. Here we go. So we're here. Pop it up. 4, 3, 2, 1. Or here, if you're just tapping it in, just take it. Half time for two. Modifier, basic bird dog for two. You're getting your breathe push up from that quadruped. Let's get it done. Strong upper body. 4, 3, 2. Lots of cardio and core, right? Yes. One more. At least. Get that push up in ha. And stretch on your back. All right, team, remember, your bridge is your modifier. Again, especially if you're in that pregnancy crowd, we're just going to lift and lower, connect with the core. Otherwise, we're going to reach around for two. If you want to add more heels on the inside. 3, 2, 1. 40 seconds. Lifting the shoulders, lifting the feet. Little tap reach around, around as you bring those heels feet up and down. I want you to control that movement from here. We're not just up and down with our feet. I want you to really think that the core is bringing them up, and then the core is lowering down, right? That's half the battle. You can keep those feet off the ground if you want a little extra, right? Take it around and around. Yes. Five seconds. Last one. Good. Yes. You did it. Up onto your feet. Grab a sip of water, team. So that is what it looks like. A little crazy, but goes fast, right? Our goal is just to get our bodies moving. Shake it out right here. We're gonna take it to a little step touch right through here. I want you to join me here if you want to take it more of a slide to get that heart rate up. You. Can you stay right here or take a real breather if you need to? And while you're moving, I'm going to talk you through your next round. So stay here. Watch me. We're going side lunge to transverse Lunge. So side lunge, step it deep, tap it in.

Breathe. How steady can you be using your core? That may mean slowing down a little bit more. Are you surprised that deadlift without weight, it's a corner.

Except on the lunge. Yeah, you can. I know you're here. You're doing it. Stay with me for this last round. Body weight is Kind of sneaky, right? You think it's going to be easier than using those heavy weights, but there's that balance work, right? Yes. Three, two, one, and relax. Stretch it out. We're gonna take it down. It's that Superman hold. You're gonna roll over to that hollow rock. So we're adding the core. If you want to keep it back to basics, you can take Bird Dog or just do the Superman.

I want you to lift in the core, but also eyes down. You're not pulling your head. We got three, two, one. Roll it on your back right here. Hold it. Hollow Rock. So you can take it with that modification. Take it here, modified. You can take it to that bridge as well. But if you can take it out, everything's pulled in. Deep core, pelvis in, everything coming in towards your back. Breathing through it for three, two, one. Relax. Last thing, team, let's do it. We're bringing that knee in for that plank Pike. Plank knee, pike. If you want to add a little extra, we're going to plank press up and down. If you want to burn up those arms in this last thing we're doing. No bonus. Let's get it done. 3, 2, 1.

Just had to end on something that felt like a bonus move, right? Even though it's not. I want you to sit back into that child's pose right here. Breathe. Yes. Reach those hands forward. Just kind of lean side to side into your shoulder. And then bring it up on all fours. Round through. Cat, cow, bring it up all the way in. And here. From here, if it is comfortable for you. Take one foot forward and here we're just going to lean into that hip flexor. If that's not comfortable to be down on your knees, take it up into a standing position. But if you can lean into it. Yes, walk that foot away. So you open up this hip. Open up this hip flexor. Right? And same thing else. Other side again. Body weight workouts kind of sneak up on you. I always think, oh, I don't know, maybe I want to lift something heavy today. And then when we do these on the schedule, I'm always challenged in a different way. We got to give our bodies breaks from the heavy stuff and sometimes we don't have that equipment available to us. So this is the perfect workout. Take it here, round in that back, shoulders side to side. So maybe save this one. Add it to a playlist for when you're out of town or when you don't have equipment or when you just don't feel like holding heavy things. Right? Have your body work in different ways. Your body is your weight. Right? Take it up here. Please make sure you let me know in the comments what you thought of this workout. Let's take that arm across, drop it, Roll those wrists.
