Hourglass workout where we shrink the waist and build your glutes and back. ⌛️ 🙌 1.)Partial Bridge + pull over -Exhale as you lift your hips. Inhale as you lower them down. I’m not lowering my hips down to the ground with each rep. Instead, I’m maintaining tension in my glutes as I do these. Modification: Perform the pull over without the bridge. Then do the bridge separate. 2.) Reverse table top plank marches- Exhale as you lift your leg. Inhale as you lower it down. Modification: Do reverse table top planks for reps keeping both feet on the floor. Exhale as you lift your hips. Inhale as you lower them down. 3.)Ts & Ys- Exhale as you lift your arms. Inhale as you lower them down. 4.)Side lying double clamshells - exhale as you ABDuct your legs. Inhale as you bring them together. Modification: Perform a clamshell lifting the top leg only. 5.)Reverse plank marches -Exhale as you lift your leg. Inhale as you lower it back down. Modification: Perform a reverse plank hold or for reps. ❌Do not hold your breath when doing these. ✅Keep your core activated while performing each rep. If you need to stop and reset your core, do so. Form is the most important part of performing these. ✅You should have minimal/no pelvic movement (rocking side to side) when your core is properly engaged. I have a pinned reeling showing core engagement on my page. ▪️ Work up to 10-12 reps per exercise. Do 1-3 rounds depending on time and ability level.

I hadn’t tried a reverse plank with a leg lift in a long time (wasn’t able to do it last time I tried) but I could do it today - I love this evidence of my core getting stronger!

That was a great core stabilizing workout after week 11 from ACL surgery.

great instructions - still working up to a decent double clamshell but finally rocking the reverse plank left lifts and marches (which I struggled with just 2 months ago!) so that gives me hope
