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.
