 This workout is "Gettin' down to the Core..."

    It's time for another workout to add to your library, this one is focusing on your core.  I addressed what is considered the core area in one of my earlier posts, if you are looking for more understanding of the core either do a search or scroll down through my posts and look for 'Core Confusion.'

Please, please, always remember every workout begins with a 3-5 minute warm-up to get those muscles warm and ready to move.

Now here we go...

Goal: cycle through 3x
    Take breaks when needed or start with 2 cycles through and increase as you get stronger.  
    Need it more challenging add dumbbells to lunges, squats and wood chops. 
    Reach out to me for any other questions.

  • High Knees - 60 sec.







  • Single leg squat - 60 sec. alternating







  • Bicycle - 45 sec.






  • Side plank rotation - 30 sec. each side






  • Flutter kicks - 45 sec.






  • Swimmer - 45 sec.






  • Plank/Pike/Reach - 45 sec. alternating (reaching towards opposite leg)











  • Wood chop - 30 sec. each side







  • Forward lunge with twist - 60 sec. alternating








  • Plank - 30 sec.








Finish with some abdominal, quad, hamstring, hip, back, chest and side body stretches.

Phew!!💦💓😳

Stay Safe, Healthy and Happy

Approach your goal as adding something positive rather than eliminating, example: eat healthier.      Suggestion: Include a vegetable in one meal a day, 3-4 meals a week.     Once these realistic goals are achieved re-evaluate and create your new attainable goal.  PLEASE prevent from creating a list of goals or to do's, approach one at a time, once you have reached your goal and it is sustainable then move on.  This is not pas...
