At-home training guide

Train your core to manage force with control.

A short core session can improve practice and awareness, but no single exercise selectively removes abdominal fat.

01

Begin with position and breath

Use comfortable floor or standing positions. Exhale without straining, find a steady trunk position, and keep breathing while you create light tension.

02

Select two or three patterns

Try an appropriate dead-bug variation, side-plank variation, bird dog, band press, or loaded carry. Choose versions that let you control the spine and shoulders.

03

Keep quality ahead of speed

Use short sets, rest, and repeat only while the position remains steady. Stop for pain, pressure, dizziness, or symptoms you cannot explain.
