30-Minute Cardio and Core Workout with Dumbbells for Women Over 40

Day 6 of the 10 Day Legs & Booty Challenge.

This workout is so much fun! You have a full 30-minutes of low-impact cardio and core work all wrapped up into one sweaty workout. We start out with a cardio circuit, with the focus on your arms & shoulders, follow that with a core-intensive series, then back to more cardio (with a focus on the glutes and hips now), and finish off with another round of your core moves.

And… you will also have a lot of fun watching me have issues with my own coordination.
