    Workout Overview
    This workout features continuous core work for 5 minutes with no breaks and no repeated exercises. Each move is performed for 30 seconds, flowing seamlessly into the next to maintain time under tension and full engagement of the abdominal wall. Because you're lying down the entire time, it's perfect for low-impact days, travel, or a focused core finisher after a longer workout.



    Focus and Benefits
    By staying on your back and removing breaks, we're isolating the core with consistent activation and forcing your midsection to stabilize through a variety of angles and movement patterns.

    • Mat 

    Tips & Helpful Information

    • No Repeats, No Breaks: Each movement transitions quickly to keep the core under tension.

    • Form First: Keep your lower back gently pressed into the mat and ensure you gently lower your back down on the mat during sit-ups. 

    • Modify as Needed: You can bend your knees or reduce your range of motion to adjust difficulty.

    Difficulty & Modifications
    This workout is rated Level 3 out of 5, great for everyone who is seeking focused core engagement with minimal strain on the neck, back, or wrists. Beginners can bend the knees or reduce hold times. For more challenge you can slow the tempo, repeat the circuit, and/or keep your head/neck/shoulders off the mat.
