Easy, slow-paced follow along routine for:
1) Learning how to engage the reverse plank posture
2) Strengthening your deep core in this posture
3) Building back up your posture (the reverse plank muscles actually make you taller!) and walking taller
4) Reducing back/hip/knee/ankle/ shoulder/neck pain due to a weak core, Lordosis & anterior pelvic tilt, distorted gait patterns, and/or osteoporosis of hip & spine
5) Maintaining optimal alignment of spine via ACTIVE stretching of hamstrings, hips, quads, and ankles/feet/toes.
Basically, DO THIS EVERY DAY. As a warmup, a cool down, or active recovery in the middle of a workout. You can also do this to unwind at night, and sleep better!
No music BUT there are verbal cues throughout. Voice is nice and loud, lol.
16 minutes of cardio followed by 14 min of the foundations core circuit with progressions! Then a standing/floor mashup 😎🌮🌮
