1. Active Recovery Work
These moves are low impact and easy to recover from so you can do them on off days or when you’re not feeling up for a high-intensity training session. I combined these core exercises with mobility moves to create 20-minute recovery sessions that you can do between workouts.
2. Starters or Finishers
Because these moves warm up the pillar of your body – the core, hips, and shoulders – they make for excellent warmup drills. Pick a few that target key weaknesses and do each for 1 or 2 minutes with little to no rest between moves to set the tone for a safer, more effective training session.
You can also crank out some fierce finishers. Pick one move and do as many quality reps as you can in 5 to 10 minutes, resting only when needed.
Or combine a handful of the moves into a challenging circuit to end your workout with a bang. The options are endless!
3. Monster Core Training Circuit
Bulletproof your joints and make your stomach scream by doing all of these exercises consecutively in one monster circuit!
Perform each move for a minute, switching sides halfway for all single-sided moves. Rest 30 seconds or less between exercises.

2. Miniband quadruped fire hydrant
3. Miniband pushup walkout
4. Miniband glute bridge walkout
