This core workout continues to challenge the endurance of the shoulders, abs and deep spinal stabilizers…more-so than a normal core workout because you are metabolically challenging the core in a new way by retaining the breath for a portion of the hold. From start to end, posture is a strong focus, which has you ending the workout feeling taller and more in control.
