November SHRED Day 7!

How was your "rest" day yesterday? Love me some yoga, so I hope you loved it too!

Today's workout is all about your core. 
Grab a towel and a slick surface. The kitchen floor works great!



Core work is important. Having a strong core ensures better form during workouts, better posture, and better balance. Show your core some love with this awesome workout!


Circuit One: Repeat 3 x's

Elbow Plank: 1 min.
*Make sure you hold those abs in, keep your arms at a 90 degree angle with palms flat on the ground, neck in line with the spine.

Plank Crunches: 20 (10 each side)
*In hand plank position, put the towel under your feet (make sure you're on a slick surface). Use your abs to slide your feet under you and bring your knees to the outside of your arms.


Superman: 45 second hold
* On the first round, have your arms back, trying to reach your feet. The second round, have your arms straight out to the side (like an airplane). The last round, have your hands overhead, and try to keep you back up as high as you can!

Circuit 2: Repeat 3x's
Side plank with reach through: 20 (10 each side)



Dead Lift: 20
*Bend at the hip, NOT the knees. Either put you hands on your head, or grab something that has some weight. 



V-Ups: 15
*Lay on your back and place a ball, or pretend you have one between your legs making a V.Put your arms overhead, and crunch up as you bring your legs to your hands. Grab the ball, or pretend to grab the ball, come back down, then crunch back up to place the ball back in between your legs. That's ONE. Do ten of those. 


Side Crunches: 20 Each Side




DON'T QUIT!
