ABS/Core week 1

For your abs/core workout, we focus on a targeted session designed to strengthen the entire core: deep abdominals, obliques, and lower back.

The goal is to improve stability, core control, and trunk strength while supporting the spine and enhancing posture.

Maintain proper form, use a slow and controlled tempo, and focus on breathing and core engagement throughout each movement to maximise effectiveness.

Circuit description : 
Repeat the circuit twice.
Warm up 10min rowing machine

Keep your back straight and core engaged.

Pull your elbows back close to the body, squeezing the shoulder blades, shoulders down, no momentum.
