A complete 8 min core workout that builds strength in a short amount of time. This core circuit targets every part of your core, from your hips, to your trunk, to your obliques, and it incorporates rotation, flexion, and extension on all sides.
*4 rounds(30 seconds on, 10 second rest in between exercises)
1. V Sit Crunches(add band as a progression)
Start in a seated position with your knees bent and feet off the floor. With your arms by your sides, slowly unfold from your seated v by simultaneously lowering your torso and legs toward the floor. With your core tight and tucked, use your abs to return to the starting position.
2. Scissors(add ankle weights as a progression)
Lie face up on the floor. To support your lower back, either tilt your pelvis and engage your abs to press the lower back to the floor or place your hands under your tailbone. Extend your legs straight up into the air. Slowly open your legs out to the sides so you form a V with your legs
3. Sit-ups
Keep your feet, hips and knees aligned with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, and exhale on your way up and inhale as you return to the start position.
4. Spider-man Plank Crunch(add ankle weights as a progression)
Assume a standard plank position. Begin exercise by bringing your left knee to your left elbow. Return to starting position and repeat with the right side.
