Train your core beyond crunches and Kegels – try this one exercise

Looking for a quality whole body movement that will train your core and more. This one exercise truly gives you more BANG FOR YOUR BUCK (so you don’t have to keep defaulting to crunches and excessive Kegels) which are an outdated way to train your core (more here why)

Especially if you are busy woman juggling motherhood + a career – my BESPOKE CLIENTS all know this

A Whole Body Exercise and HOW it trains your core

Just look in this video how much you have to use ALL of your body in one move. The core is way more than a 6 pack or abs – it is everything between your shoulders and hips including the pelvic floor

The demand on the TOTAL core in this exercise is fabulous, and balancing on one leg is incredible for our ALL bodies, especially for pelvic floor health, losing the belly bulge (healing diastatis) with the use of resistance based training to boost the metabolism & avoid sarcopenia (which is age related muscle loss – hello perimenopause …which can overlap with being postnatal – more here)

Important modifications for all ages and stages of motherhood to consider

Ready to try this whole body exercise ? These tips should help

• don’t worry about how high you lift your leg (especially if you have hip niggles)
• begin with a lighter / no weight and smaller range of movement (especially if pregnant or postpartum / medical clearance to move is essential)
• remember consistency is key (not injury and depletion)
• starting small will allow for better technique and better balance which means a deeper core activation
• got pelvic pain / hip or pelvic floor concerns I offer an effective modification of this move using my fitball workouts

It took me and my BodyFabulous clients a while too build their endurance for this one 😅

Your workout goal for this single move

Try this at least 3-4 times next week
Go for 30 secs x 3 rounds + rest 20 – 30 sec between each round …remember it is NOT about going harder and faster but QUALITY and slower pace to create some time under tension that targets ALL OF THESE MUSCLE GROUPS ….

• Shoulders
• Back
• Arms
• Deep Core
• Pelvic Floor is worked as you balance you DO NOT need to clench, brace or suck belly to sopin
• Legs
• Glutes
