STRENGTH BUILDING – Length 22:00 - Items needed: Fit ball, wall or chair.
This is a core-focused routine suitable for all levels.
If you're struggling with inverts, shoulder mounts, or deadlifts of any kind, or you're looking to improve your leg lines, this workout is for you. Remember your core is not just the "six-pack" that runs down the front of the body. It includes abdominals, the back, hips, butt, and pelvis.
Tips to help you get the most out of this workout:
You'll need a ball and a wall along with a chair, pole, or wall to hold on to.
Experienced dancers may use this as a warm-up.
Track your sets and reps. Don't worry if you can't do all of the reps I suggest. Instead, make sure to write down how many you did so you can try to do one or two more next time.
Make sure you've been cleared by your health professional before starting any exercise programs.
Always leave a day of rest between workouts when you're starting or just getting back into exercise.
To build strength, use this routine 2-3 times a week for 4-8 weeks.
