Without regular strength training, your core muscle fibers can shrink and become less flexible. This five-minute intermediate class targets your core and lower back muscles while improving your posture and building functional strength. This will be done by performing a variety of exercises that engage and strengthen your midline, including mountain climbers, bicycle crunches and leg lifts. You only need a mat for this workout.
Remember to maintain regular breathing throughout and take breaks as needed. If you feel any resistance or pain, stretch carefully without overextending yourself.
