The weighted walking lunges with rotation are particularly good - great stretch on hip flexors and abs as well as strengthening them. Lunges should be deep and wide as poss while still controlled.
Sharkie Nov 2018 3:16pm, 20 Nov 2018 14,098 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie Walking squat: hold weight to chest - deep squat lowering weight to arms straight - spring up (to triple extension really) pushing weight above your head - spin round on one foot so you face the other way - weight back down to chest - and continue over 20m. That's one exercise of 3 or 4.

sallykate Nov 2018 10:23am, 21 Nov 2018 5,810 posts	Quote Pin sallykate I'm making a more concerted effort to do my core routine this month. I use an interval timer and do 30s of 30 moves, with 10s in between to rest or change position, focusing on five areas: back extensions, planks, glute bridges, hips and abs. Takes 20 mins, or sometimes I might do a shorter version dropping the hip and abs. As things get stronger I can change the moves to be more challenging but for now I think it's giving me a good base to work on.

But I'm also perhaps doing more vigorous sit ups than I was when I first started.
