My Core Workout

Hi friends,

Be it that I am experiencing some serious computer problems, I need to get my mind off the technological stuff for a while.

I spent 20 minutes, 19:46 to be exact, of my morning performing a Core Workout.

Probably could have finished it faster if my 2 year old Boxer, Bruschi, didn't think it was play time!

Give it a try!

Core Workout

Warm-up


SMR (Self Myo Fascia Release) using a MB but you can use a Foam Roll

Piriformis (Glutes), T-Spine (thoracic spine)- Hold Tender Spots 20sec

Active Flexibility - Spiderman 8 per side
Inchworm 6 reps

Movement Prep - F. Lunge w/ Overhead Reach - 6 per side
MB Kneeling PNF - 8 per
(Hip to Shoulder Chop)

Core Workout
Superset 1
Plank - 30 sec
SL Iso Bridge - 20 sec side
2 sets

Superset 2
Side Plank - 20sec side
SL Plank - 20sec side
2 sets

Superset 3
MB Wood Chop - 15 per side (1st), 20 per side (2nd x)
MB Mt. Climber - 12 per side
2 sets

I chose to perform each superset with no or minimal rest. You will feel each of these exercises from your upper to lower body. Depending on your fitness level use 30sec to 1 minute between supersets.

Helping you maximize your calorie burn,
