Second last day of our challenge and I sure hope you’re still with me! Remember…these are just 5-minute sessions, so schedule this important 5-minute meeting with yourself and get it done!

If you’re up for the challenge, you can string all of the workouts from Day 1 through 6 together and end up with a full-body 30-minute workout. Or, choose your favorite days and create your own workout duration and focus.

GAH! I just love exercise.

Anywho, Day 6 our focus is on your core. The key to good core exercises is to start each movement by engaging your transverse abdominals – those are the deep, deep, deep abdominal muscles. To do this, think about gently pulling your pelvic floor upwards and engaging the muscles on the inside of your right and left hip bones. This contraction should feel like a gentle tension and not contract so hard that your belly pops out.

Here’s the workout for the day:

Remember, there are multiple ways for you to get through this workout. You can listen to the workout via my podcast, Dig Deep with Dr. Lindsay Gee (just click the play button above) or you can save this graphic to your phone/tablet, set a timer for 5 minutes and get through all these exercises as many times as possible in 5 minutes.

If you’re unsure what some of the exercises are, have no fear, I’ve got you covered in the how-to video below. 🙂 (old school winky faces still make me happy).

There you have it, party people! Day 6 of your challenge with lots and lots of core fun!

Day 2 of our 5 & Thrive Challenge and we’re hitting the upper body today! Woop! Sooooo many options on how to participate!

You can listen to the podcast HERE, just click the “Play” button above! You can also find my other podcast episodes under the “Podcast” tab on this site OR or iTunes or Stitcher radio.

You can also save the below graphic to your phone and get your workout done wherever you are. This workout needs some weights and/or tubing or bands….or milk jugs, cans, babies or hockey bags. LOL.

Here’s the workout:

Remember, if you’re not going to listen to the podcast, simply set a timer for 5 minutes and go through these 5 exercises as many times as possible. The key? Form, baby…don’t sacrifice your form for speed. Slow it down and ensure full range of motion. You’ll thank me later. Maybe.

And finally, if you don’t know what the heck these moves are, I’ve done a short video that demonstrates all of the exercises. See? No excuse not to get active today.

It’s 5 minutes, party people. Link it together with Five & Thrive Day 1’s Cardio workout and you’ve got a great 10-minute blast!

Phewf! I think I’ve got you covered! Get it done, my friends…and please do let me know how you’re doing.
