Upper body and core strength done entirely on your feet in about 20 minutes, with no floor work and a focus on control.

Fitness Blender's express upper body and core session stays on your feet from start to finish, so there is no getting down on the floor. The emphasis is on strength and control rather than speed, working the upper body and midsection with deliberate movements. The video runs about 20 minutes.
