Workout | 30 Minute Core Workouts | Cheap NO Xplode

A thirty minute workout is usually something that you try to achieve by squeezing a longer workout into a shorter amount of time. However, I am going to give you some core workout suggestions that will take you quite a while to work up to 30 minutes.

I have just recently started working out with kettle bells (KB) and, even after a life time of lifting weights, I am absolutely exhausted within 15 minutes. I would like to be able to do a full 30 minute workout and this is my goal because researchers have shown that you can burn as many as 20 calories a minute using a KB. That means I could burn 600 calories in a half hour which is more than I can burn on the Stairmaster in an hour.

There are literally hundreds if on thousands of exercises you can do with a KB but the basic exercise is the swing. To do this you simply squat down and pick up the KB then, as you stand up, you thrust out with your hips and back. You could simply do this one motion alone and have a great core workout. Do 15 swings and take a 10 second rest before you do them again. You will only be able to do a few sets.

Another great core exercise is the figure 8 with a lift. Simply pass the KB from hand to hand between your legs in a figure 8 pattern but lift the KB to your chest each time you switch hands. Do 20 of these then take a 10 second rest. You will quickly see that 30 minutes is no longer a short time but a long time to do a KB core workout.
