Welcome to Your Core Challenge Series

Day 3 – Core Breath with Dynamic Cross Body Integration

Progressively Overloading.

We’re adding on day by day to increase the load on our core, while still maintaining good stability and inner bracing. We’ll touch on common compensations you might see with some of these more demanding exercises as well.

Adding Contra-Lateral.

Fancy for opposite arms and legs moving away from the body. This creates even more load and stabilisation through the core with more need for control. Who knew core exercises could be brain exercises as well!

Anti-Rotation Movements.

Anti-rotation exercises build strength and stability to prevent rotation. The workout is in resisting the rotation. This is a key thing to get better at before using rotational work to target the core.. (we’ll get to rotation and twisting for core work in day 6!).

Ribcage Awareness.

Many people have a flared ribcage, and often the left side is more flared than the right. Postpartum women usually have a flared ribcage, and you could have a narrow or wide ribcage which I don’t go into great detail in this challenge. Bringing awareness to your ribcage in core exercises is a sneaky tip that can be a game-changer to where you feel work in your core.
