SAVVVVVEEEE THISSSS!! 🔥🔥🔥 Seriously it’s good. FUNCTIONAL DEEP CORE WORK that I can get behind. Aka that I don’t totally hate. I feel like I get core workout requests on a daily basis - truly it’s the number one workout request I get - but you’d never actually catch me doing all these in one workout 🤣 so if you choose that for yourself - don’t blame me 🌶️🌶️ But I freaking love adding these into workouts and half the time it’s already in one of my workouts like marches, kneeling step ups, beast variations etc - you might find in a full body conditioning workout of mine. WHICH ONE(S) ARE YOU GONNA TRY? Tag someone to rock it with you! •• Core will absolutely be activated after any of these and there’s plenty of ways to scale them too - so drop into the comments if you want a modification or regression. •• Protocol: optional! Feel free to take some of these and use them a la carte or add them to your next workout or use them as finishers! If you want to make this one big core strength workout, you can do a 8X2. Go through these 8 exercises 2 times. Try 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest. OR create your own rep count for each. •• 1️⃣DB pull throughs 2️⃣Med ball dead bugs 3️⃣Side plank DB crunch 4️⃣Kneeling rotational med ball slams 5️⃣Banded press to rotation 6️⃣Beast shoulder tap to kick backs 7️⃣Kneeling DB step ups 8️⃣DB offset marches •• Modifications - anything you see with knees hovering can be dropped down to tabletop position as you are building core strength. If you don’t have a med ball, you can use a DB and mimic the same movement. •• Core work + activation is sooo freaking helpful for every part of training. It is your foundation, it is your facility, it is where much of the movement we do in strength training + HIIT is initiated. You will always see stuff like this sprinkled into my programs to continue building the foundation and strengthening this all important muscular box. •• Go rock this one team 👏🏼👏🏼

Core training in less than 18 seconds! Create mobility, create motion, and resist motion is a general strategy we like to use when it comes to improving core strength in a comprehensive way. For the core, we like to heavily emphasize rotation, extension, and flexion. For sets and reps we like 1-2 sets of 8-12 for creating mobility, 3-4 sets of 8-12 for creating motion, and 2-3 sets of 6-10 reps for resisting motion - but those are just loose guidelines! . . #coretraining #core #coreworkout #corestrength #jasonandlaurenpak

🚨Save and try these! Our core’s main job isn’t to give you a six-pack… it’s to stabilize the spine and transfer force between your upper and lower body. —That means resisting unwanted motion and controlling rotation. If you only train your core with crunches, sit-ups, or static planks, you’re missing one of the most important functions: ROTATIONAL STABILITY!! Here’s why it matters: * The spine is designed to move in multiple planes, but too much uncontrolled rotation or extension = stress on discs, joints, and ligaments. * The anterior and posterior oblique slings (muscles that connect the shoulder to the opposite hip) stabilize the pelvis and spine during BOTH athletic and everyday movement. * Training these slings with rotational core work builds resilience against low back pain, improves posture, and makes every lift or movement more efficient. -Start integrating rotation, stability, and movement together. 
-Add rotational drills and you’ll protect your spine way more than doing crunches! **If you’ve been stuck in cycles of pain, random workouts, or no progress… my 1-1 program bridges rehab with strength. You’ll get personalized programming, direct access to me, and a plan that actually works. *Comment “Sling” below and let’s chat!* #functionaltraining #strengthtraining #mobilitytraining #lowbackpainrelief #coreexercises #abs

Deep core > superficial core. Always. Your deep core is the internal support system that stabilizes your spine and manages strength and control as you move 🔥. It includes muscles like the diaphragm, pelvic floor, and deep abs that work together to support your body. These were crucial to rebuilding my strength after pregnancy! Core is the backbone of almost all movement 💪🏾. This is exactly how I train and program inside my app 😤. My app prices increase 02/06, and if you join before then, you’re locked in at the current pricing 🫶🏽 (link in bio)! Good luck and don’t forget to MOVE!! #coreworkout #kettlebells #functionaltraining

Why you should do some deep core workouts! ✨ They strengthen the muscles that stabilise your spine and pelvis, improving posture, balance, and overall movement efficiency ✨ Unlike ab exercises (surface level), training the deep core supports better breathing, protects against back pain, and enhances performance in daily activities and sports. ✨ Also adding moves on one leg is optional but it not only challenges your balance but also forces your core to work even harder, creating a stronger and more stable foundation for strength, mobility, and injury reduction! Make sure you’re really squeezing your core when doing deep core stuff ☺️ #deepcore #strongcore #athlete #fitness #workout #training #runner #posture #mobility #strength #healthyspine #healthyjoints #movementismedicine
