20-Min Ab Ripper Cardio Workout for Women Over 40 – Osteoporosis Safe-Core Exercises Shown

Get your heart rate up AND train your core with this 20-minute ab HIIT workout. We alternate between 1 cardio move and 2 ab/core exercises to keep the heart pumping while strengthening your core area.

And… if you have osteoporosis, I have you covered.

Since many ab moves are contraindicated for people with osteoporosis (most ab exercises have some sort of spinal flexion, which is a no-no for osteo), I have offered osteoporosis-friendly alternatives in a screen just above me for you to follow along with.

I know! Awesome!

Have fun!
