In a nutshell: 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off Plank walkups Bridges Bird dogs Bicycle crunches Plank + knee to elbow Side plank with twist (R) Side plank with twist (L) Windshield wipers Double crunches Leg lifts Nice workout!
Good workout, I liked the voice-over and everything about the production. Slight improvement could be made, if the next exercise was foreshadowed during the rest period, would give us more time to prepare.
Came to comment the same thing. I felt rushed at times because I wasn't able to get into position fast enough. It was tough to relax when I knew she wouldn't be telling us what was next till the last possible moment.
@@emiliarojasbrandell280 you can do it however you choose! These exercises can serve as a nice muscle-activating warm up before you run, or as supplemental strength work any time that it works for you.
THIS is what quality material looks like! A proportion of explanations + what to look out for, with some music so it's not too much talking. And not showing off but rather demonstrating. I've been using RU-vid for training for years, somehow never seen this. It's perfect. Thank you.
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I didn’t want a core routine that took up a ton of time, but still helps me build core muscles for running. Thank you SO much.
First of all, thank you for sending me these great videos - I would never have found this without being a Fleet Feet customer! And thank you to Ashley for finally getting me to concentrate on my core. This has been invaluable!
Ashley is the best! These workout have carried me through Covid and helped me work through some overuse injuries - this workwork plus Ashley's HIIT Stress buster + augmenting with some strength stuff, and stretching as well. Don't forget your roller - works miracles. These workouts, plus the stretchy bands resistance work, a bit of biking and I don't need the gym + I'm running less but I'm in better shape than ever. Anyway, I'm starting to sound like I'm getting paid so ... I'm out!
@Max Alan Godsil, thank you! We love to hear that you've been enjoying Ashley's workouts, and that your fitness is improving. Keep up the good work, and thanks for watching!
These were great exercises, thank you. I would like to have the explanation of the next exercise during rest time instead of the first 5-10 seconds. I’m old and can’t flip from stomach to back as fast as you!
I love this workout. I'd suggest that ex. 4 (bicycle crunches) and ex. 5 (the climber) swap places, as 3 first exercises and the climber one can benefit from the use of resistance bands for intensive core work, so u can use them with first 4 exercises (being ex. 4 the climber instead of the bicycle crunches)
thank youu, is there another way of doing the double crunches? I can't lift my head up :( And then I have to touch my thigh to keep my body move ahead. This only one can be divided into 3 parts for me lol.
Leah, great question! And glad you like the workout! Ashley here. I like to do core work one to three times per week. I flip flop on before or after but, on the whole, I prefer before (I find that I'm sometimes too tired and unmotivated to do core after ;) ). The other nice thing about before: You can follow up core work with a quick dynamic warm up (leg swings, arm circles, lunges), so you head into your run feeling energized.
Love the video! I’m having a lot of trouble with the double crunches though. Like, I actually can’t get my back off the ground while also bringing my knees up as you do. Am I doing something wrong, or is there an easier modification to start with?
uncomfortable to do for the first time, when you do not know what is the next exercise. You could use the rest time to explain the next exercise, so that one could prepare for it
