a couple notes ⤵️ - all moves (except no. 5) also work without the external load of the dumbbell! the resistance of the weight is fun AND useful for body feedback, but if the shape & the breath is enough of a challenge, start there :) - extra padding always helps. any plank can work on the wall or an incline. wrists can be fists. nobody gets extra credit for suffering. - no, I won’t tell you how many reps to do or how many pounds to lift. start SOMEwhere and adjust from there. 30 seconds is a good place to start, and you can add a LOT with breath & intention before you grab a heavier weight (again, except for no. 5 lol - think of it as grocery practice) - if you want to work through moves like these together, check out The Energy Academy !! memberships start at $25/month, train online from anywhere, cancel anytime :) #coreexercises #coreexercise #coretraining #trainertips
