Core

This routine fires your deepest core muscles! The only thing you'll need for this workout is a wall to press into with your hands. Form is INSANELY important when it comes to properly training your core. If these movements feel too easy, then try to REALLY focus on activating your deep core. 

Exhale air out

Engage the pelvic floor by drawing it up and in like an elevator

Draw abs in, belly button towards your spine

Flatten abs down. Don't let the abs bulge or dome outward

Keep rib cage down

Think of bringing hip bones together and knitting ribs down to hips

Hold this brace while you move

If you start to lose this deep core engagement, come down, rest, then join back in

Here's another core workout using no equipment! Form is so important for results, so make sure you're engaging your deep ab muscles with every rep. 

This routine includes some different moves with the band that are so effective for your core. Make sure you're using a light resistance for your band. If you try and go too heavy, you won't be able to get the desired effect.

This is one of the MOST EFFECTIVE core workouts you can do. I give lots of cues during this routine because the right form is imperative to be able to properly activate the deep core muscles. I highly recommend getting a pilates ball. You can easily find them online and they're about $10. If you don't have one, you can try a folded up pillow. 

I try to give form tips and cues throughout this routine because the goal is to learn how to activate the EVER SO IMPORTANT deep core muscle - your TVA (transverse abdominis).

This routine combines core work with upper body. 5 moves repeated twice!

You don't need any equipment for this core routine.
