This 4-week Home Program is simple to follow. It only requires ~20 minutes of your time, 3 days a week.There are 3 new follow-along 20-minute core workout videos per week. Just play the video and do the follow-along core workout with me.
If you are short on time, you tend to procrastinate during your core workouts and you need more structure, then this program is for you!
You will learn how to:
- Properly engage and strengthen your deep core muscle, the TVA (transverse abs). No more bearing down or wetting your pants.
- Connect your breath to your core: your diaphragm, TVA and pelvic floor.
It doesn’t matter if you are a newbie or a veteran, you will leave this program with a strong core foundation and a dramatic increase in your overall strength level.
The core routines target your TVA and lats as stabilizers. Therefore, you will dramatically improve your stability (which is the permission slip for improving strength and mobility). The TVA is your body’s primary stabilizer: it acts first when you move and it stabilizes your spine (which is why it’s important to strengthen this muscle!). Your lats are the enormous muscles on your back that connect your arms to your vertebral column. They help stabilize your spine and shoulder girdle. If your TVA and lats aren’t working together to properly stabilize you, then you will develop imbalances that cause pain and tightness. These imbalances will prevent your from developing strength and mobility.There are 3 new core workout videos per week for 4 weeks. You can chose the days of the week that work best for your schedule. You can even do a routine as a warm-up for your regular training session.
I provide copious cuing and instructions for each exercise. The exercises follow progressions. Scaled variations of the exercises are provided.
There is plenty of repetition for 2 reasons: So you can...
1) Master the fundamentals.
2) Learn how to activate your muscles correctly and build the correct movement patterns.
You will develop your pushing strength (say goodbye to winged scapulae).
Your hip flexors will become alien strong (your compression strength will dramatically increase).
You will develop your backline strength and improve spinal mobility. Beginners backbending exercises are included, along with thoracic spine rotational openers.
By the end of this program, you will be well on your way to achieving your first lifted L-sit!
