Want a stronger core? 🔥 Move your planks.

Once you’ve nailed the basic plank, these are 4 variations to challenge your core - I would try these over extra long holds. Keep the hips stable, don’t hold your breath, and draw your abs in (don’t let them push out!) 💪

If you are beginning, or a postpartum mumma - remember to build your foundations first, then work your way up to these.

4-minute upper body TABATA 💪💪💪
Short on time but still want to get a workout in?!

4 exercises, 8 rounds of 20 seconds.

The goal is to go at your max intensity!
⭐️ Go fast for the bodyweight movements (while still maintaining form and core control!), and for the weights make sure it’s challenging for the last 1-3 reps.
⭐️ If you are a beginner, start slowly and light, and build up from there. I’ve shown the high options, but any plank position can be done on the knees.

Save this for the morning. Fitness that is doable, not daunting 💪💛

4-minute LOWER BODY + CARDIO workout with me - LET’S GO! 💛💪

We are doing 8 rounds of 20 seconds, no equipment needed.
Low options for everything, you don’t need to jump.

I’m here to make moving our bodies feel doable, not daunting.

This tabata style is a great way to get exercise in when you are short on time. Go at your own pace! As your fitness improves increase your intensity (faster and/or a greater range of motion).

Do this one with me and comment DONE so I can cheer you on!

Quick video in the rain today 😅😬
Not just a back exercise, Renegade Rows challenge your upper body, core stability and total-body control in one movement.

Keep the weights manageable, brace your core and focus on quality reps over speed. This is an “anti-rotation” exercise so the goal is to resist twisting, keep your hips still!

➡️ I’ve shown a full plank option, an incline plank, and a box position (on all 4’s). If you can’t control your core (you feel a pushing out of your tummy, or your hips won’t stay still) drop to the lower option and build up to them.

Save this for your next strength session! 🔥

If you’ve nailed your plank holds, this is a great add on!

Single arm and leg balance 🔥 I love to do this every morning, 30secs each side. Keep your elbow soft (don’t lock your arm), back flat (bum down), and your core tight 💪

Give it a go and let me know how you go!

4 advanced exercises with a CORE FOCUS, but a full body burn! 🔥🍑💪

I love a challenge, and these exercises are just that!

To get a good burn through the quads, keep your knees as low to the ground as possible! We want soft elbows (don’t lock them), a strong supported core and flat back, and a focus on squeezing the glutes. Keep the hips still and stable.

Give them a go and let me know what you think!

These are 3 awesome exercises for your side glutes and obliques 🔥💛💪

Run via a Facebook private group, 2x weights/bodyweight workouts and 1x Pilates a week, super easy to follow ⭐️ Message to join.

Give these a try and let me know how you go!
