All Phases: The Only Core Workout You’ll Ever Need (Daily Practice)

Feb 16, 2026

Description

In this practice you’ll get my favorite core exercises with the option to add light resistance as appropriate. We’ll use strategic body positioning that turns this core-focused workout into a total body burner.

Use this as a finisher on split strength days or any time you need a little something extra to support postural strength!

🌀 CYCLE CONNECTION → You can use this session throughout your cycle with a few modifications to accommodate lower intensity in the luteal and menstrual phases. Be mindful of the exertion and slow things down as needed.
