This is NOT just for women, men have abs and glutes also and we can work them in a very similar fashion our bodies are the same, our muscles work the same, it's just the load that changes....for some men/women. In fact, men who aren't shy of doing some of the core work and glute work that women do probably have more well-rounded mobility and functionality. The purpose of this is to reintroduce you to your stability muscles, CORE 5 is about a short 5 move routine that can either help you build muscle or find weaknesses that need to be strengthened. These can be done 1 time though but I suggest 2-3 times as a core-focused routine. If you want to make it a full workout then 4-5 as a circuit is good and you can add weight. These are designed to be unweighted or with just bands. *It is not designed as a sweat-inducing workout. It is 5-10 minutes out of your day to pay attention to the muscles that keep us upright. You CAN see muscle change and you WILL notice strength differences even if you take this light and slow. I promise. I do these things once every year or so myself (and when I don't, those are the times I get lazy and hurt myself somehow). Add these to a workout or as a warm up. The days switch off from glutes and abs there are just 2 days that are both and some days are just a plank (that's why this is easily added as a pre or post-workout, I really do this stuff while my pre-workout drink is kicking in :) ). We're building up to a 3 minute plank at the end! We're ALL doing it again together for this challenge.
