This metabolism booster workout is 8 minutes and is made up of 2 parts. The first is to do as many reps as you can of the Roll back Ugi Burpee exercise and the second is 5 minutes of intervals with 6 great exercises. This workout is mostly core and abs focused with lots of planks and also has some leg work, with a few lunge exercises mixed in. So grab your Ugi and let’s get your happy endorphins buzzing and your metabolism turned up! 

If you do not have an Ugi, do part one with just body weight. In the 2nd part there are 2 exercises with Ugi. For the Russian Twist use another weight, such as a dumbbell, medicine ball or even a water bottle and for the Ugi Plank Tap Downs, just hold plank for the 40 seconds.

Check out my Resource page for links to get Ugi, and my other favorite exercise equipment.

Skaters

 

Jump sideways across an imaginary border and land on the outside leg, try not to let the inside leg touch the ground. As soon as you land with outer leg, bring inner leg to cross behind outer leg, like a curtsy but without touching ground with back leg, if you can.  This exercise is great for balance. Bring inner leg back and jump with it to where you started and repeat movements on the other side. Continue jumping from side to side, alternating legs each jump.
