5 Core Exercises Image

 

🕒 8–10 minute routine

1. Diaphragmatic breathing – 5 slow breaths
2. Pelvic tilts – 10–15 reps
3. Supine marches – 8–12 total
4. Bridge – 10 reps
5. Standing core engagement – 10 holds (5–10 seconds)

✅ A couple of important cues (these matter more than reps)

• Move slowly
• Exhale on effort
• Stop if your belly bulges or domes
• Think “gentle wrapping inward,” not squeezing

If you want, next we can:

• Pair this with your walking pad (how to engage your core while walking)
• Decide when/if crunches could ever come back
• Modify any exercise that doesn’t feel right for you

You’re doing the right thing by wanting visuals first — that’s how most people really learn. 💛
