WTF is Core Grit?

Remember “ASS and ABS”? Well, consider this the ultimate upgrade. 

Core Grit takes a deep dive into your core and your glutes, offering a next-level workout that’s all about strength, stability, and precision. Designed with a focus on full-body support, this class reinforces your foundation to help you move, lift, and live better every day.

Ready to truly harness the power of your core? Let’s find out what makes Core Grit a game-changer!

What is Core Grit?

Unlike traditional ab workouts, Core Grit is designed to challenge every part of your core, targeting not just the front but also the sides, back, hips, and glutes. It’s a focused, intense approach to sculpting your center, helping you achieve better posture, prevent injuries, and boost functional movement.

At the heart of Core Grit is a balanced workout that hits all the essential core muscle groups: from the Rectus Abdominis (your six-pack muscles) and the Transverse Abdominis (your natural corset), to the glutes, obliques, and lower back. This class blends controlled, intentional movements with powerful exercises that challenge your core in every plane of motion—flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral flexion. And as your muscles adapt, you’ll see Core Grit ramp up the intensity, using progressive overload to keep your core and glutes stronger, leaner, and more defined with every session.

Each class incorporates exercises that challenge:

  • The Front: Classic crunches, planks, and medball rollouts to build a strong and defined front core.
  • The Sides: Side planks, bicycle crunches, and oblique V-ups to target the obliques for a more sculpted waistline.
  • The Back: Deadlifts, good mornings, and superman holds to strengthen your lower back and support your spine.
  • Rotational Movements: Russian twists, banded woodchoppers, and high plank pull-throughs to train twisting motions, improving functional strength and coordination.

Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or looking to take your first step toward better core strength, this class molds to your level and pushes you toward new levels of strength, balance, and control.

Meet Your Workout

Your core stabilizes and powers your body through all kinds of movement. That’s why Core Grit focuses on exercises in these four key planes of motion:

  • Flexion: Movements like medball crunches and sit-ups engage the front of your core, specifically targeting the contraction of your abdominal muscles
  • Extension: Exercises like superman swimmers strengthen your lower back and improve spinal support for better posture and injury prevention.
  • Rotation: Exercises like Russian twists and medball woodchoppers challenge your ability to twist and turn, enhancing your functional strength and stability.
  • Lateral Flexion: Think kettlebell t-pots or suitcase carries—these target the sides of your core, improving balance and helping you move with control in any direction.

This comprehensive approach not only maximizes core strength and flexibility but also ensures that your core can support and stabilize your spine through a variety of movements and challenges. Get ready to feel stronger, more stable, and absolutely unstoppable!
