Level 2 - Pace: Moderate
In this workout, we’ll explore how to strengthen the core while keeping the spine neutral—perfect for times when rounding or arching the back might be painful. Whether you’re dealing with inflammation, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to build awareness of spinal support, this session will guide you through controlled movements that engage the abs, obliques, and stabilizing muscles without unnecessary spinal flexion or extension.
We’ll move through side-body work, planks, and abdominal exercises, focusing on deep core activation rather than traditional crunches or curls. This is an intermediate-level session, so we’ll take our time, prioritizing precision and control over speed.
We begin lying down, using the floor as a valuable reference point to reinforce alignment and support. Let’s get started!
