Let's target your lower tummy, improve back pain and prevent injuries with this deep core routine. I'm using a yoga block, but you can also use a pillow or a small ball. 🌶️Do 1-3 sets depending on time and ability level. • Bridge + hip adduction-Exhale as you lift your hips. Inhale as you lower back down. • Leg drop + opposite arm drop with isometric hold. Inhale as you drop your arm and opposite leg. Exhale as you bring them back up. • Bridge pulse + hip adduction- Exhale as you lift your hips. Inhale as you lower back down. *You don't lower all the way to the ground with these. • Leg drops with isometric hold- inhale as you lower one leg down, breathe at the bottom, then exhale as you bring your leg back up. This is seriously a TOUGH move. Make sure to listen to the description in the video on this one. • Bear plank + hip adduction - Exhale as you raise up. Inhale as you lower back down. 📌 Don't hold your breath while doing these. 🩷Form is the most important part of performing these.

Love that I had to hold the block. It helps activate the core muscles. And my hip flexors were on fire!🔥
