We’ve all done it…
Core at the end of the workout as a “finisher”…
but by then, we’re already finished 😂

Ever since I started training core within my workouts (full body style), everything changed.
Stronger. More stable. More consistent.

Because when it’s built into the session — you don’t skip it.

And that’s where the magic is: consistency

Why core strength matters:
• It’s the centre of all movement
• Improves strength, balance & control
• Supports better lifting, running & performance
• Helps protect your lower back
• Transfers into everything you do

Train it with your body, not after it 🔥

Less time. More intensity. Better results.

Here’s why 👇

Most women default to long, steady cardio…
but your body actually responds incredibly well to short, high-intensity efforts.

Research shows that Sprint Interval Training (SIT) can:

→ Improve insulin sensitivity (use carbs better)
→ Increase mitochondrial function (more energy)
→ Recruit fast-twitch muscle fibres (power + tone)
→ Boost fitness fast

The key? Intensity.

We’re talking:
RPE 9–10 = near/max effort
→ You shouldn’t be able to hold a conversation
→ It feels hard… but short

Then:
FULL recovery (RPE 2–3)
→ This is where the magic happens

If you’re not ready to hit that top intensity yet,
build up to it 👇

Beginner (true starting point)
6 rounds
Fast walk / light jog (RPE 6–7) for 20 sec
→ 60–90 sec easy walk

Progressing beginner
6–8 rounds
10–15 sec run (RPE 7–8)
→ 60–90 sec walk

Intermediate
6–8 rounds
20 sec sprint (RPE 8–9)
→ 60 sec rest

Advanced
10 × 200m sprints (RPE 9–10)
Rest: walk back / 90–120 sec
(This is what I’m doing here)

This isn’t about staying tired…
It’s about hitting true intensity, then recovering properly.

That’s what drives results.

Start where you’re at.
Then build 💪🏼

A short workout does more than you think 👇

• Increases endorphins → improves mood and reduces stress
• Elevates heart rate → boosts circulation and oxygen delivery
• Enhances insulin sensitivity → better energy regulation throughout the day
• Activates muscles → improved posture and movement quality
• Stimulates metabolism → increased calorie burn post-workout
• Improves focus → sharper cognition and productivity

It’s not about time.
It’s about what that time does for your body.

Intermediate = 6 reps or 3 e/s
Advanced = 10 reps or 5 e/s

5-6 rounds
1. Upper: Rolling PU
Lower: Pistol squats
2. Upper: Pike PU
Lower: Kneel to squat
3. Upper: Cobra PU
Lower: Rhino Step
