It was nice out today so added a run in before this core workout. Woot.

Enjoy this "Beginner" or as I like to call it, foundational Core Workout!


Forearm Plank
Deadbug Active
Forearm Side Plank

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

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.

Forearm plank

1. Place the band around your feet (Optional for additional resistance)

2. Bring your knees up to 90 degrees, draw your belly button to your spine, extend your arms straight and press your hands firmly into the floor.

3. Exhale extend your right leg straight as you drive your right heel into the band. Keep your left knee flexed at 90 degrees and repeat on the opposite side.

Tip: Press your hands firmly into the floor and keep your ribcage down.

Dead bug Active

Hip lifts are amazing, helps me reaffirm alignment, love it!

Rough couple days not feeling great but decided i needed to push through for me and I'm glad i did.

W3/D2 Strong Core 12

I have had a rough few days trying to get motivated to do anything. I could come up with a million more excuses but today i said no more excuses. I'm so glad i woke up and was ready to get it done!

W3/D3 Strong Core 13

I am pushing on. Can't let the past days that I've missed hold me back. I just have to wake up and do it for me even when it's not easy.

W4/D2 Strong Core 17

I really love that even after a long day at work i can still come home and give myself five minutes to work on me.

I really like the little timer I can use and the beeps it makes to notify me in the last few seconds so I don’t have to watch the screen or set one on my watch.

Are you kidding me? These are 🔥 and also really hard! Lol

Just when I start feeling like wonder woman with improved core strength, a new movement is thrown in the mix and makes me question everything 😂

W5/D2 Strong Core 23

The reverse plank knee drive! This one is so tough! 🤣 I will get them down eventually!

Bear crawls are a real killer - my abs need a nap 😂
