Session Breakdown

  • 1
    Dynamic Warm-Up (3 min) Standing roll-down, spinal articulation, cat-cow flow, and hip circles to mobilize the spine and activate the deep stabilizers. Breath synchronization established here sets the tempo for the entire session.
  • 2
    Core Ignition Series (4 min) Hundred variation into single-leg stretch, double-leg stretch, and criss-cross. Continuous flow with no rest between exercises — building deep transversus abdominis endurance and oblique power.
  • 3
    Glute Activation Complex (4 min) Bridge series with single-leg lifts, clamshell progressions, and fire hydrant pulses. Targets glute medius and maximus with slow, controlled tempos and isometric holds at peak contraction.
  • 4
    Athletic Transition Flow (3 min) Plank to pike, push-up to downward dog, and bear crawl holds. These transitions train the body to move between positions with control and power — building real-world functional strength.
  • 5
    Power Integration (2 min) Teaser progression combined with rolling like a ball and open-leg rocker. These advanced movements integrate the core power and glute strength built throughout the session into full-body coordination.
  • 6
    Cool-Down & Reset (2 min) Spine stretch forward, seated twist, and constructive rest position. Gentle decompression of the spine and parasympathetic nervous system activation to close the session with intention.

Session Benefits

Full-Body Activation

Every major muscle group is engaged through compound movements that mirror real-world demands. You build functional strength that translates beyond the mat into daily life and athletic performance.

Core-Glute Connection

The core and glutes work as a unit in this session, building the posterior chain power that protects your lower back, improves posture, and creates the foundation for all athletic movement.

Athletic Conditioning

Flowing transitions between exercises keep the heart rate elevated, building cardiovascular endurance alongside muscular strength. You develop the stamina for sustained performance in any activity.
