Core Workout

I am teaching a group class today on postnatal core exercises though really anyone can benefit from this workout.  The class is being offered to raise money for The Valerie Fund, whose mission is to provide support for the comprehensive health care of children with cancer and blood disorders.  


The definition of "core" varies from source to source but I like to think of it as your entire torso or spine area, basically the center of your body to which your head, arms and legs connect.  So, this includes the upper back muscles that insert into the spine, the lower back, the abdominals and the hip flexors.  


Here they are:


Wood chops/reverse wood chops
Standing crunches
Side to side rotation 
Mountain climbers
Quadruped
Prone Cobra
Pelvic Tilts
Bridge Press
Dead bugs
Leg drops
Hip crossover
Plank
Side plank/modified side plank
Kegels

Be well.
