- Intermediate level: 45″ execution per exercise and 15″ rest between exercises.
- Advanced level: 50″ execution per exercise and 10″ rest between exercises.
The routine is made up of a total of 8 exercises and two laps must be completed. “Do 2 laps prior to your strength training/running/paddle tennis/yoga/golf… to feel like a strong core improves performance, prevents back pain and brings us closer to the result we expect“Crys explains.
To carry out the routine you only need a mat and a superband. This non-slip mat is very comfortable to do any exercise from the ground and includes a transport bag to take it anywhere.
And these rubber superbands have different resistance levels so you can choose the one that best suits your level.
