Hi Everyone!

It’s workout time! today’s workout is focused on the mid-section. It includes exercises to strengthen your abdomen and lower back from all angles. This workout also utilizes dynamic full body movements to challenge your cardiovascular system and burn fat.

Remember to push yourself during the workout. You can increase the challenge by pushing for more reps (with good form!) If you need breaks during the workout that’s okay, but get right back into it as soon as you can. If you stick with the workouts you will notice that you are able to go longer and longer without taking a rest break. It’s a great way to see your strength and endurance improving.

Building core strength is very important to developing a strong and balanced body. Your core provides  support for every movement and activity you participate in. A strong core will improve your balance, posture, and your ability to maintain appropriate form during all types of exercise.

I hope you enjoy today’s workout!

  1. I try all your moves that involve a side plank, but it turns into disaster! It hurts my palms and the side of my feet. I never am able to hold it long enough to do whatever move your doing, let alone “hold” the side plank. And I never feel it in my core. I’ve even tried staggering my feet. I’m beginning to think I’m doing it wrong. What do you suggest?

      Can you have someone take a photo of you in a side plank so you can check your form? Have you tried doing the forearm variation?
      What I see a lot with this pose is upper body rotation/difficulty keeping the shoulders stacked. A good way to practice this is to do side plank next to a wall and try to keep the top shoulder as close to the wall as possible. Also, check where your hand (or elbow if you are doing forearm) is in relation to your shoulder. Try to keep it directly below your shoulder.
