Michelle Dozois Cardio Core Crusher - Thoughts

Cardio Core Crusher is a 42 minute workout. It is  a download/streaming only workout and it is a workout that is included in Michelle Dozois's Peak 10 Fit Body Challenge.

This workout uses a mat and it alternates cardio and core segments.  The cardio segments are relatively short, at least compared to the core segments.
In this workout Michelle works the core from a variety of positions.  Michelle also follows a similar format to her other workouts in the series in that you run through each set twice through changing your lead side the second time through.


During the cardio segments you use the mat as marker where you are often working around the mat or across the mat. There are a few standing core sections but for the most part you are going to the floor for the core segments. Thus, this workout contains a lot of up and down movement.
Some of the core exercises are:

• Drop push up with rotation
• Plie core side reach
• Plank elbow row + single leg crunch + bicycle
• Plank kick + super mans + plank hip drops
• Table + dip pull thrus + reverse plank
• Angle crunch sit ups + scissors + v-sits + knee pulls

There is a modifier. The warm up and cool down are around 4 to 5 minutes each. The music is high tempo throughout the workout.
Not my favorite of the Fit Body Challenge Peak 10 workouts but still pretty decent.
