Hey OwnPace family, 

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been receiving a lot of requests about exercises for the belly/abdominal area. So I decided to make the next set of home workouts all about the core, I’ll be sending you core exercises that you can do at home and they take very little time to help build you build a great core.

For the first installment we are going to work on some plank variations. Before you start doing crunches, leg lifts and other dynamic core movements, you want to make sure you have a stable core to build the foundation and that is the focus of this workout.

The plank is one of the best exercises you can do for your core because it builds isometric strength to help sculpt your waistline and improve your posture. And depending on the type of plank you try, you can also engage your back, arms, shoulders, glutes, and hamstrings.

We have 3 moves for 3 rounds for 1 minute each and a bonus round if you are more advanced.
