Hi Everyone!

Are you ready to squeeze in a quick core workout today? I hope you said yes. This is a fun, and efficient workout that will exercise and strengthen your midsection from every angle. This exercise routine will help you build a stronger tummy.

I incorporated several moves into this routine to help strengthen the muscles used in a side plank. I got a lot of feedback from people who said Side Planks continue to remain very challenging. This routine will help build strength for full side plank and it’s harder variations. The workout video, and exercise photo tutorial is below. If you aren’t sure about any of the moves check out the photos and scroll through the video before you start.

#BFFitFall Workout Challenge: We are nearing the end of the #BFFitFall Workout Challenge. How have you liked the Weekly Workout Schedules I have been making? Do you want me to extend the challenge, or create a new challenge for November?

Life Update: Things are going well here in the Bender household. Being back on a filming schedule makes me happy, and means that I am finally getting in consistent workouts again. My son is growing so fast. He is 15 months old, and everyone thinks he is two already. He seems to say a new word daily.

I made sensory boxes for him yesterday. I posted them on my Instagram story. If you are wondering what a sensory box is, it is quite literally a box that is used to stimulate your tactile senses in different ways. For example, my boxes included small stones, feathers, pom poms, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners and more. You can also include things like rice, sand, or water.

As an Occupational Therapist I find myself incorporating sensory, fine motor, gross motor, vestibular input, and more therapeutic techniques into our everyday play routines.

Reading with my son.

Have fun with this week’s workouts! I love seeing your check-in posts and comments! Let me know how you feel and what you thought of the exercises and the schedule. I’d also love to hear which exercise you found the most challenging, and which one you liked the most.
