Second last day of our challenge and I sure hope you’re still with me! Remember…these are just 5-minute sessions, so schedule this important 5-minute meeting with yourself and get it done!

If you’re up for the challenge, you can string all of the workouts from Day 1 through 6 together and end up with a full-body 30-minute workout. Or, choose your favorite days and create your own workout duration and focus.

GAH! I just love exercise.

Anywho, Day 6 our focus is on your core. The key to good core exercises is to start each movement by engaging your transverse abdominals – those are the deep, deep, deep abdominal muscles. To do this, think about gently pulling your pelvic floor upwards and engaging the muscles on the inside of your right and left hip bones. This contraction should feel like a gentle tension and not contract so hard that your belly pops out.

Here’s the workout for the day:

Remember, there are multiple ways for you to get through this workout. You can listen to the workout via my podcast, Dig Deep with Dr. Lindsay Gee (just click the play button above) or you can save this graphic to your phone/tablet, set a timer for 5 minutes and get through all these exercises as many times as possible in 5 minutes.

If you’re unsure what some of the exercises are, have no fear, I’ve got you covered in the how-to video below. 🙂 (old school winky faces still make me happy).

There you have it, party people! Day 6 of your challenge with lots and lots of core fun!
