How to run it

  1. 01

    Breathe out through every effort and keep the ribs stacked over the pelvis.

  2. 02

    If the plank or hollow hold shakes, shorten the time rather than sag the back.

  3. 03

    Move slowly on the dead bug and bird dog — the point is control, not reps.

  4. 04

    Rest 45 seconds between sets and keep the whole session under twenty minutes.

  5. 05

    Finish with two minutes of slow breathing on your back, knees supported.
