Warm-up (3–5 minutes)
- Gentle cat-cow and pelvic tilts to wake the core.
- Dynamic leg swings and torso twists to increase mobility.
- A short plank hold (20–30 seconds) to prime the muscles.
Core Circuit (repeat 2–3 rounds)
- Reverse crunches — 12–15 reps: focus on curling the pelvis toward the ribs.
- Bicycle crunches — 20 reps (10 each side): controlled tempo to hit obliques.
- Hanging or lying leg raises — 10–15 reps: keep hips down for lower-abs emphasis.
- Side plank — 30 seconds each side: maintain a straight line from head to heels.
Technique tips
- Breathe: exhale on the crunch or lift, inhale on the return.
- Move slowly and with control; momentum reduces effectiveness.
- If a move is too hard, reduce range of motion or perform a supported variation.
Progressions and scheduling
- Start with 3 sessions per week and add a day as you gain strength.
- Increase repetitions or add a third round once the circuit feels easy.
- For focused oblique and leg-raise progressions, follow this targeted challenge to build consistency leg raise and oblique crunch challenge.
