Rock Solid Core! Workout 1

OK so it's summer, so core training is back on the menu. A lot of us are trying to shed a few pounds for our summer look, so some more direct core training will be really beneficial for sculpting the mid section. 

However these workouts aren't just endless crunches, they're designed to design a strong, more powerful core, which will help you in athletic pursuits.

They're simple, but they sure ain't easy!

The first challenge is 7 Minutes of Heaven (Level 1)

Here's a tricky but fantastic core endurance builder. Work up to holding each position for a minute. Positions are; 1. Straight Arm Plank 2. Side Plank R 3. Side Plank L 4. Bent Arm Plank 5. Straight Leg Dish 6. Straight Leg Bridge 7.

You need to make it to 7 minutes, without dropping form, or letting the body touch the floor during sets or changeovers. It may be a case of building up to the full seven minutes, so maybe start with 20-30 sec sets before working up to the full minutes.

So 7 Minutes is made up of a minute of each of;

Straight Arm Plank

Side Plank Right

Side Plank L

Forearm Plank

Upper Body Dish

Straight Leg Bridge

Half Cobra

Simple as that, enjoy it and let me know any questions, or if you're ready for Level 2!
