Ready for a 5 minute core workout that you can do at home? Grab your resistance bands and press play.
Resistance bands get all the hype for booty workouts, but we are sleeping on banded core work. Read all about what the deep core is and why it’s important to your overall wellness in this blog post.
I pulled these moves from Rec Sweat’s Banded Body Guide, which is 30 workouts under 30 minutes. I designed the guide for quick and effective, grab-and-go workouts to use while traveling or on days when you don’t have time to hit the gym.
5-10 Minute Banded Core Workout:
30 seconds on, 15 seconds off. Repeat 3-4x.
Squat To Oblique Crunch
Superman Band Rotations
Supported Side Plank Hip Dips With Leg Lift
Squat To Oblique Crunch
Starting in a wider stance, bend through your knees to lower your hips into a squat with your chest lifted and arms up at your head level. As you return to stand, drive your opposite knee and opposite elbow together, emphasizing twisting and crunching through your core. Return to squat and repeat on opposite side. Continue to alternate.
Deep Core Superman Band Rotations
Lying on your belly with a neutral spine and gaze to the floor. Engage your core to lift your head, neck, shoulders and feet off the ground. Extend your arms overhead with the band in one hand, then bring both arms to your lower back and pass the band to your opposite hand. Repeat in the opposite direction, and continue to alternate directions.
Supported Side Plank Hip Dips With Leg Lift
Start in a supported side plank with your knee and forearm on the ground. Dip your hips towards the ground and as you return to side plank, use your core and glutes to lift your top leg directly upward. Repeat for given number of reps, then switch sides.
