Antonio

Perfect ab intro. Definitely a well spent 5-10 min workout 💪

Chelsey

Abs feeling good, but those planks are feeling harder today after yesterday's workout

Sarah Snipes

It is challenging just enough especially towards the end.  However I love knowing I can complete it and not feel defeated, so I just imagine the progress I will have at a later time.  Day 1a Million to go lol

Bianca

Had so much fun the first time around starting back from the beginning again!

Diana Wade

Recovering from Mono and feeling like I have lost all muscle… was definitely confirmed. I am no stranger to these exercises and I absolutely love them. Definitely challenging today, but great 1st workout back. It was doable, but hard enough to where I broke a sweat. But not hard to the point where I won’t be able to do tomorrow’s work out.

Kristina

Ummmm okay. FINALLY started core and literally shed three layers in five minutes. I can’t WAIT for this challenge. THANK YOU CORE QUEEN 🔥🔥

Melanie

THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🎉🫶🏻 This core workout was great!

Jennifer 

Not going to lie…it was tough. Im so out of shape and I broke a sweat doing every exercise! Whew!

Lauren

Such a good workout to get me moving again!

Jenny Weeks

Amanda

Jessica

It was a good core workout. I had hard time with planks as I’m recovering from shoulder surgery

Steph Walters

Nikki

Wow! I feel like I’ve activated core muscles I didn’t know I had! 1 day down! 🙌🏼

WELCOME to the strong core challenge! I invite you to show up for yourself just 5 minutes a day! This is a habit that changed my ENTIRE life and I know it can be the start of something great for you, too! 

Be mindful, if there's an exercise that is too challenging, you can repeat days that you've already done! Nothing wrong with that! 

Also, if you need to modify I encourage you to go on a raised surface! 

Last but not least, please leave me feedback, I want to hear how YOU are CRUSHING IT!!! xoxo

Deadbug Press
Forearm Plank
Bird Dog

This is a beginner-core routine that will help you set the foundation to get a strong core

1. Lie on your back, draw your belly button to your spine and bring your knees to 90 degrees. 

2.As you exhale brace your core and keep your rib cage as you press your right hand into your left leg. 

3. Resist the pressure with the leg and engage the core. Tip: Keep a small arch in your back

Deadbug press

1.Come into quadruped placing your knees directly under your hips and your wrists directly under your shoulders. 

2.As you exhale brace your core and keep your rib cage from flaring as your left leg and right arm straighten. 

3.Inhale as you crunch together.

Tip: Refrain from leaning into one hip or one hand - try to keep your hips and shoulders square at all times.

Bird dog

1. Begin in a kneeling position. Bend your elbows to 90 degrees, position your shoulders directly over your elbows and place your forearms on the floor.
2. Extend your legs behind you with toes tucked under to press into the plank. 
3. Exhale as you draw the shoulders back, the belly button to the spine. Engage the glutes and quadriceps to make one straight line.
 
Tip: Keep from hiking the hips or sagging into the shoulders.
