Best Use of a Kitchen Towel: Part 1

Guess who owns a flip camera??? Thought I’d share some awesome core moves that only require a little space and two kitchen towels.

Oh and keep in mind that I don’t have any video editing skills at this point.

Update: If you don’t have hardwood floors, a frisbee or plastic lid works well in place of the towel.

What is this strong plank, I speak of so frequently?

  • Hands press firmly into the floor as if your pushing the floor away from you with with all your might.
  • Legs are strong and active.  Thighs are contracted.
  • Imagine there is energy coming out of the crown of your head and the soles of your feet.
  • Belly is sucked in as if you are wearing a pair of jeans that just came out of the dryer and are one size too small.

Tune in next week for four more moves featuring kitchen towels.  Don’t worry, I ‘ll learn some editing skills between now and then.  I promise.

    You can use a frisbee on carpeted floors.

    Great idea! This reminds me of cleaning the kitchen floor when I was little – I would strap sponges to my feet to make it fun. :)

    I was going to demo how you could also clean the floors while working your core, but the hubby advised against it.
