3 Core Workouts (I Do these for Warm Up)

Make sure your core is activated!
That's something I always tell and make sure my clients do during their Warm Ups.

Simply because if your core is activated, you will be able to engage & tighten it up when doing heavy exercise (squats, deadlifts, over head presses) or more advanced exercises like handstands. And this alone will make you have better form & be able to lift more weight.

There are many exercises that you can do i order to engage your core, but some of my favorites are:
  • Planks
  • Mountain Climbers
  • Crab & Bear Walks
  • Frog Stands
  • Hollow Holds & Handstand Holds

Doing a couple of sets of 3 or 4 of these during your warm up will make a huge difference in your workout.

Most people think that doing some light cardio & stretching to warm up is enough but that does nothing to help you get your body prepped up for battle.

Just think about it:
  • You work 8 hrs a day sitting down
  • You go to school & have to sit down during the lectures
  • You drive 1-2hrs a day & have to be sitting down
  • You eat at home or at a restaurant & are sitting
  • You go to the bathroom & you will sometimes sit down
  • You try to relax at home & you sit down or lay down

Lets face it, in our society we sit down for most of the day

So by the time you are getting ready for you warm up, doing some light cardio is not enough to get your muscles activated and mobile for the workout to come - heck probably your core temperature doesn't even go up that much... much more is required. (You should try some of the corrective stretches I showed in this video)

**Next time you warm up make sure you do activation exercises like the above - you will feel a big difference.**

3 Free Core Workouts

Now for some cool stuff...

Last time I told you my friend Tyler Bramlett came out with a new workout program called CT-50

And so you know what type of workouts you are getting inside the program, he decided to give away 3 free core workouts straight from the program.

These 3 workouts are in order:

  • 1 for beginners
  • 1 for intermediates
  • 1 for advanced users


These are really short workouts that you add in during your warm ups or after your workouts as a finisher.

And they are short - 5 min max!

It is all about progressing into more advanced workouts as you are able to do them.
