If you’re looking to liven up your core strengthening routine, we have you covered with a barre-inspired workout that will engage your muscles through dynamic exercises. Presented by and led by M/Body founder Marnie Alton, this all-standing series will work your abs from all angles.
You’ll skip typical exercises like sit-ups and planks, in favor of a flow-style of movement that feels dance-like. Alton begins with a warmup that includes marches to wake-up your stabilizing muscles, twists to turn on your obliques, and hip-circles to “awaken, empower and mobilize” your pelvis.
Next, Alton pickups up the tempo. As she moves through more intense exercises, you can follow class member Tiffany Marie and Poofy Moffitino for different speeds and variations. Alton, reminds us, there is “no intermediate or beginner or advanced, just meeting yourself where you’re at.” Listen to your body and do what feels right.
