Bodyline drills (~5-10min)

Fire up your core and reinforce proper positions

  • Do NOT Rest between the bodyline drills. Just move to the next one with minimal rest.

  • It's important to note that these bodyline drills are not meant to be progressed. Simply do one hold for as long as you can hold (somewhat) comfortably and move on. Once you can hold it for 60s, simply keep it like that.

  • It also important to note that the warm-up can and should be modified if you have particular 'problem areas' or 'tight areas' that may need special attention.

  • If you're not feeling warmed up yet, do 10-20 burpees or squat jumps.
