TRANSFORM YOUR CORE
Stop Training "Abs".
Start Training Core.
If crunches feel “too easy”, but you struggle through more advanced
movements - it’s time to revamp your routine.
Over the next 2 weeks, you’ll go back-to-basics with breathing technique so even the simplest of exercises feel challenging.
The goal of this series is to build a foundation of mind-muscle connection so you understand how to activate (and actually feel) your deep core & pelvic floor muscles working.

WHAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE
By completing the Core Foundations series you can expect to:
✓ Build a foundation of mind-muscle connection
✓ Learn proper “belly breathing” technique
✓ Retrain your brain to feel your deep core & pelvic floor working
✓ Release excess tension
✓ Strengthen and support your pelvic floor
WHO IS IT FOR
The Core Foundations series is for you if:
✓ Exercises like crunches and planks feel too easy
✓ BUT you feel other muscles take over on more advanced movements
✓ You hold your breath or don’t know how to breathe while training
✓ You’re looking for a series that’s easy to add to your existing routine
✓ PREGNANCY: if you are at any stage of pregnancy and have received clearance for physical activity from your healthcare provider
✓ POSTPARTUM: if you are at least 6 weeks postpartum and have received clearance to return to physical activity from your healthcare provider
TRAINING STYLES
Throughout the Core Foundations series, we will combine functional training with pilates-inspired breathing techniques to transform your core training.
Each week, you will complete:
3 core workouts, each focused on a different functional movement pattern (e.g. core flexion, anti-flexion, rotation, anti-rotation)
Plus, optional mobility on the days in between to reinforce breathing technique and release excess tension from your body.
WORKOUT DURATION
The Core Foundations series is designed to be an easy add on to your existing routine.
You can expect 3 x 10-20 minute core workouts per week with 3 x 10-20 minute optional mobility workouts on the days in between.
DIFFICULTY
The Core Foundations series is broken down into two levels and we recommend completing both for best results.
LEVEL 1 is for you if:
✓ You’re new to core training
✓ You hold your breath or don’t know how to breathe while training
✓ You want to build a foundation of strength (and understanding) for pregnancy & postpartum
LEVEL 2 is for you if:
✓ You’ve completed Level 1 of this series
✓ You breathe through training, but don’t know if the right muscles are working
✓ You want to bridge the gap between crunches and planks feeling “too easy”, but struggling with more advanced training
If you’re stuck between levels, start with Level 1. This is the best starting place if you’re new to our style training, plus Level 1 workouts will flow directly into Level 2 so the progression will be seamless for you.
PREGNANCY NOTE: Depending how far along you are, some Level 2 movements may be restricted by your belly. Feel free to adjust or skip these movements as needed.
