10 Minute Standing Abs with Katie & Denise Austin | Mother Daughter Workout

Warm-up (30 seconds each):

• Jumping jacks: Get your heart rate up and loose.
• Arm circles: Forward and backward circles to loosen your upper body.
• High knees: Run in place while bringing your knees up high.

Circuit (Do 30 seconds of work for each exercise, with 10 seconds rest in between. Repeat the circuit 2-3 times):

1. Crunches: Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Engage your core and lift your upper body off the ground, bringing your shoulder blades towards your hips. Lower back down slowly with control.
2. Russian twists: Sit on the floor with knees bent and feet flat. Lean back slightly and lift your feet off the ground. Twist your torso from side to side, bringing your hands to touch the ground beside you on each twist.
3. Plank: Get into a high plank position on your forearms or hands. Keep your back straight, core engaged, and form a straight line from head to heels.
4. Mountain climbers: Start in a high plank position. Bring one knee towards your chest in a running motion. Switch legs quickly.

Cool-down (30 seconds each):

• Hamstring stretch: Sit on the floor with one leg extended and the other bent. Reach for your toes on the extended leg, keeping your back straight. Hold. Repeat on the other side.
• Quad stretch: Stand on one leg and grab the ankle of your other leg behind you. Pull your heel gently towards your glutes. Hold. Repeat on the other side.

Here are some additional tips:

• Focus on form over speed. It’s better to do fewer repetitions with good form than many with bad form.
• Breathe throughout the exercises. Exhale as you exert yourself.
• Listen to your body. Take breaks when you need them.
