Starting The Week Off..Core & Quads!

Begin this at home exercise kneeling with your knees about hip distance apart. Find your posture with your palms resting on your thigh muscles, your core engaged, spine in neutral and shoulders down and back, just as if you were standing.

With your breath and keeping your torso straight, slowly lean your quads and torso back to about 45-50 degrees. Take 3 deep breaths and return to upright. That is 1 repetition. Perform 3 sets of 15 repetitions!

Simple and easy! At home! No equipment, except your amazing body!

  1. I did these in one of my classes a few weeks ago - they are really great! If you sweep your arm back and look back towards your foot, while keeping your hips facing forward, just a little more core:)
