Work that Core Fast!

Shape posted a killer, quick core workout last week that calls for incorporating a Bosu ball or "squishy disc" into traditionally-practiced strengthening exercises like v-sits, squats and reverse lunges.

The workout involves resting part of the body on the squishy disc to add a balance element to each exercise.

Kim Truman, the designer of the workout, explains its benefits in the Shape article by Jeanine Detz: "Each move recruits large muscle groups like your glutes. But because you're doing the exercises on a squishy disc, your core and smaller stabilizing muscles also engage to keep you steady."

I am off to give the workout another try. To join me, just click on the following link:
