Summer Core Challenge - Week 1

Memorial Day is just 4 weeks away!  Now, we should all love our bodies in every shape and size, but we still need to take care of ourselves and feel good from the inside out.  For this reason we are going to have a 4 week core challenge!  Our core is not just about having abs but it helps protect our back, organs, and have better posture which is proven to help improve mood! 

This challenge is for any fitness level!  Take it at your own pace as each week we will slowly make it progressively harder to allow you to slowly get better and feel accomplished!
