20 High knees
30 Squats
10 Leg Lifts
20 Jumping jacks
10 High Knees
20 Squats
10 Leg lifts
10 Push ups
60 second planks

so im wondering if I cut out the jumping jacks and high knees can I still see results in my tummy area? And just
substitute them for bike riding and walking?? Because I dont want my feet to pain me every week

Your workout is very similar to what we did in my junior high physical education classes in the 1960s. I haven't heard of people doing jumping jacks since the early 1970s.

You would be much better off with lifting weights and a couple abdominal exercises.

Check any anatomy book, if you think I'm saying things out of this world.
You want to lose fat fast and furious?
1. STOP EATING TOO MUCH
2. STOP EATING FATTENING FOODS that absolutely includes any sweets and soft drinks, foods with starch, like breads, pastas, pizzas and so on. Fat itself, btw, is not really fattening.
3. Start doing cyclic core exercise. Groups of 5-6 exercise, back to back, wrapping around your core completely. 1 minute break, repeat cycle. Start with 4 cycles and go for 5-6 cycles. Do fast 8 repetitions and increase them to 12-15 per exercise. BREATHE, cyclics are very challenging. Do this first thing you cross the gym door.
4. LIMIT SALT Salt retains water in body and makes it look puffy.
5. Limit fluid intake to moderate 1.5 L a day. DO NOT drink right before/during/ 1 hr after exercise as fat cells are fluid storage and you simply replace what was lost with fluid intake.
6. Wear sweat shirt or sweat suite and sweat it out. See 5 for reference.

#5 and #6 are worse than just bad advice. I hope nobody actually read this and thought these recommendations made sense.

Yeah, that was just weird.

I think #5 is wrong..
No water causes dehydration issue.
Need to drink at least some water even during exercise....
