S10 EP9: Our Top 5 Favorite Core Exercises

Let’s start with the good news: NO MORE CRUNCHES! And the bad
news: hey, no bad news here! We do talk about some of the
ridiculous ways we’ve all tried to get washboard abs in this
episode but let’s keep them in the past. Instead of hyperfocusing
on those six glorious rectus abdominis bumps, we are going to
hone in on your entire CORE, because we want you to feel strong
and stable in your movements, avoid waste of f*cking time
exercises, and feel less pain. 


Do you really know what makes up your core? Get to know it in
today’s episode. Save the crunches for the dinner table, and get
the best bang for your buck at the gym. Listen and leave with our
top five exercises AND these links to see Kelsea demo the
movements. Happy Core Day!:
