Now that the weather has been getting nicer, it might be time to start considering paddle sports as a great form of exercise and adventure for the whole family! Maybe you're lucky enough to have access to a stand-up paddle board, inflatable dinghy, canoe, or kayak! Always remember to respect the ocean, lake, or pond you are adventuring in, and ALWAYS wear a certified PFD.

This week’s video is all about putting the “core” back in “Core Competencies”! I wanted to provide families with a video and exercise routine that could benefit the whole family, as I know everyone is stuck at home these days. Releasing those endorphins we gain from exercise is even more important for us right now, while we’re cooped up in the house, with many of us needing a mental break from the mundanity. Whether you’re young or old, student or parent, feel free to join with me in this ab blasting core circuit.

This circuit is a combination of 10 exercises, performed for 40 secs each, resting for 20 secs between. Depending on your current fitness level, you may want to start with or without weights, and complete 1, 2, or 3 rotations. This will allow you lots of room for modifications to build up your routine from easy/achievable to more of a challenge.
