The workout where we let our bellies be as big and round as they want to be

Contract *and* relax, baby!

This week, we’re trying (among other things) one of my favorite challenging-but-modifiable core-strengthening moves, and at the end we’ll spend some time releasing all that effort and letting it all hang out. (Your pelvic floor will thank you.)

Welcome back to Workout of the Week from How to Move! If you’re new here, this is my weekly premium post for paid subscribers — it’s a 25-ish minute workout that you can easily cut shorter by skipping the warmup or cooldown, or only doing one or two rounds of the exercise circuit instead of three. Maybe you just do the workout once, maybe you return to it once or twice later this week.

This week we’ll be using dumbbells again (ideally a light pair and a medium-to-heavy pair), but if you don’t have them, you can always try the workout with body weight or a heavy item you have around the house — or skip back to the first or second week for a no-equipment workout:

Ready? Let’s go.
