Easy Core Exercises for Beginners-Intermediate Home Routine (20 Minutes)

[@monicamatassa4145]

Thank you so much for everything you do! finding quality pelvic floor friendly core exercises is hard. Please please please create some more 20-30 min core workouts if you can :) Thanks again Michelle!

[@michellephysio]

I’m so glad Monica - I’d love to make more core routines if you’d like them, I’ll do one for our next shoot so probs my online within the next 4-6 weeks

[@aliciasavino9809]

This is the best exercises I have seen in KZbin... for mild prolapse thanks . We want more like this even for 30 minutes

[@suzieyoung9970]

Really enjoying your routines (just started with them yesterday). Locked down here in UK and it’s difficult to get help medically. So I’m going to try and get into daily routine.

[@sbf54]

Thank you so much for these pelvic floor safe core exercises. Coming from being a personal trainer with difficult ab exercises to doing none (for fear of making my prolapse worse)....you give me hope to get my core back in shape. Thank you!

[@michellephysio]

@sbf54 You're so welcome! thanks so much for your lovely feedback. I hope this information helps you, best wishes to you!🙏💓

[@Luwsybird]

Hi sbf54, I have prolapse as well and I found the modified plank really hard to do, and also bringing both knees up off the the ground. Did you have the same feeling?

[@carmenross1077]

Thank you for your gentle teaching ,relaxing voice very much appreciated.exercise well executed.

[@Gracejaison]

Amazing Michelle.. You are the best PT... All your stretches are so helpful and feels amazing after doing these... I have been watching and saving all your stretches ... Thanks once again.

[@darrenbrown7614]

great focused exercises that you can really feel engaging the core, i'm a beginner and my core woke up immediately, really no need to try look for adrenaline rushing ab exercises, these exercise hit the spot.

[@sunflowerdays66]

Thank you Michelle. Really helpful and enjoyable, challenging but your expertise is reassuring x

[@michellephysio]

@Sunflower You're so welcome! Thanks for the beautiful words, much appreciated. I'm so glad this helps. Keep up your hard work - all the best! 🙏

[@lullahthecairnterrier955]

Thank you- this was exactly what I was looking for- trying to get back into exercise after surgery (9months po and under physio guidance- don’t worry).. great detailed workout.

[@73kdt]

I love your videos because you explain exactly what we should be feeling in our bodies when performing the routine.

[@ona2964]

Thank you so much for this! I'm trying to strengthen my core after having a baby (who's now a toddler!) and these gentle exercises are a great starting point.

[@michellephysio]

@ona2964 my pleasure! I do hope this helps you. Keep up the good work! 🙏

[@michelles1422]

Loved this core workout. The plank excercise at end was challenging but in a good way. Also it's such a pleasure listening to you talk. Thank you, from California

[@michellephysio]

That’s great to hear! I’m so glad you enjoyed this 😊

[@markmyers5274]

Your videos are so helpful and informative. I really appreciate you explaining proper positioning and mechanics for each movement! Do you have a video for intermediate-advanced pelvic floor/SI joint strengthening?

[@wilkssan613]

that was great! thank you.

[@debbiehunt7584]

Would love to see some more intermediate core workouts

[@michellephysio]

Hi Debbie - yes intermaediate to advanced is planned for filming next week (you'll be notified as a subscriber if you have the bell clicked on). Looking forward to bringing this one to you X

[@afrouzkhakpour7067]

Please make a complete bridge as well. ❤❤❤

[@khomo12]

Great routine!👍👍🙂

[@chaitime9835]

Hello Michelle, I absolutely love ur workout routines. Nearly 15wks post hysterectomy I am doing the kegel & core exercise daily. I have now included some of the glute burns in as well. This one I will try soon. However, it is quite difficult to ascertain parts or sequels to a particular exercise. For e.g this above one does it have a prequel? Where is its next part? If you can maybe link each exercises pre routine in the comments it would be great. Thanks

[@sherryfritz5276]

These are so easy that you forget how well they work!

[@judithperrin1086]

So helpful. Thank you.

Awesome, thanks and keep upload more core exercises 🙂🙂

Will do abs thanks for the feedback!

[@anjaliagrawal4095]

@Michelle Kenway, thank you for this workout. Loved the music too. I will definitely try this. I am happy to tell you, I have learnt to engage my core during workout. Thank you for your tips. I am only a little confused, when you lie flat should there be a slight arc or should the back be flat on the ground? ( I heard you say, slightly arced) Some say flat, so confused.

[@michellephysio]

Anjali great question, thanks! Try to keep the small inward curve in your lower back when you lay down flat. The reason for this is that when your lower back is in this position, your deep core abdominals work best. If you flatten your back, the outer abs take over and the deep abdominal muscles don't work as effectively. Hope this clarifies, let me know ...

[@anjaliagrawal4095]

@@michellephysio Oh! Got it. Thank you so much. Will try it today.

[@anjaliagrawal4095]

@@michellephysio the last one is truly difficult. I can do just two rounds and not too high from the ground.

Nice exercise thanks i need it and will do every day i have weak core

[@michellephysio]

My pleasure! I hope you find these exercises beneficial

[@writelearnandearnwithkim]

Thanks very much for the videos. Do you have any videos for people who spend a lot of time at their desk? I am an author and I get a lot of pain when I am working on a deadline.

[@patriciafarrugia-watson9162]

Thank you I love this!!

[@lesleynithsdale9081]

Fabulous, as always. I've noticed some pilates/yoga instructors encourage lifting the pelvic floor muscles (as well as drawing your tummy in) as you perform an exercise. Is there any need to do this?

[@michellephysio]

Hi Lesley yes great question - do your pelvic floor exercises independently of these exercises for a couple of reasons 1. Prolonged holding of PF muscles can cause problems in that they can become unable to relax 2. Your PF exercises should be really strong - there’s no way we can move and exercise at the same time while maintaining a strong pelvic floor contraction 3 these exercises will not pose a risk to your PF so no need to brace during them. Do your PF training independently of these exercises for max benefit. Thx for the great question Lesley!

[@lesleynithsdale9081]

Thanks so much Michelle, that's a really helpful explanation. Completely get it now. Can't wait for more of these workouts. You're a star!! X

[@michellephysio]

@@lesleynithsdale9081 great I'll progress this one in about 3 weeks time so you've got some practice to do in the meantime :)

[@barbaramaher5771]

Thank you Michelle! I love this workout. Have been doing it most evenings for a few weeks now and I was wondering if you will be doing an intermediate/advanced version to progress the workout?

[@michellephysio]

Great suggestion Barbara, yes I can definitely do a more advanced progression, filming next week so I'll try to fit this one in for you too 💜

[@_aspenjay]

Thanks for the these videos! I'm nervous about the planks, because I've read in many places to avoid planks with a diastis recti, how is this one different (obviously it's different from your standard but still the idea is the same)? Or what are your thoughts on that concern? Thanks again!

[@SerenityLoman]

whats an alt. for the one at 13:05 if you can't be on your wrist? I had a bad fall two years ago and I tired this at my chiropractor and about fell on my wrist 3 times doing this.

[@dm1206]

This was excellent. Will be returning to this frequently.

[@flipvideostripe]

hello! are these exercises safe for a tight pelvic floor?

[@patriciafarrugia-watson9162]

Thank you!

Michelle, are the modified plank exercises okay to do with diastasis recti? Thank you for a great workout

So, complete bridg is good for spinal osteoporosis ? Please answer, thanks . ❤

[@rebeccawalker5409]

Hi I love these exercises but as a beginner it would be great to go at a slower pace or have a longer pause between the different movements so that myself (and maybe other beginners) can make sure we’re engaging our core correctly and positioning our body in the right position 😊

[@michellephysio]

Great feedback Rebecca thank you, I’ll slow down the next core progression and hopefully it suits you - many thanks indeed!

[@joanpostnikoff7491]

Love these

[@michellephysio]

I’m so glad!

I LOVE this routine Michelle, it's just the right level of challenge for me! I wish you could post this same routine without the music. That would be so nice!

Michelle, can these exercises be done if you have severe diastasis Recti?

[@jessicafilocamo1131]

Hello, I know you’ve said this workout is pelvic floor safe but just wanted to double check it’s safe if I have a bladder prolapse, recently been diagnosed and been doing daily kegels but wanted to build my inner core and whole body strength as I used to do lots of HIIT workouts before I found out I had this so just looking for something replace but that it won’t worsen my cystocele... Thanks I’m advance

[@christineavalos7571]

Hi Michelle, is this routine ok to complete 8 weeks post hysterectomy if Dr gave ok to perform corr strengthening exercises?

[@kathrynpearce7480]

Hi Michelle, which exercise video would you recommend as a progression to this one please?

[@michellephysio]

Hi Kathryn I like your thinking! I’m filming nxt week - would you like a progression video? I’m keen if you are, cheers

[@kathrynpearce7480]

Yes I'd love a progression video. I do this video three or 4 times a week and I'd love something along the same lines, protecting the pelvic floor and working on the core.

Hi Valentina the puppy did a quick run through - would you like to see more of him next time? He jumped in on the thumbnail shot - he’s mischievous!

[@valentinarubio2991]

Special pet appearances are always a nice touch. Thank you for creating a beginners tutorial for lower back. Helpful after a rear end auto accident a year ago.

[@michellephysio]

Valentina Rubio my pleasure! Let me know if there’s something specific you’d like for rehab and I’ll make sure Toby says a big hello - he was my rehab helper too so I understand what you’re saying. Take the exercises slowly and do what you can manage, a little every day or two makes the difference, all the best
