30-Minute Workout Plan with Ivy (Core & Balance)

http://hotandhealthyliving.com/2010/03/30-minute-workout-focus-on-core-balance/

To keep from getting bored Ive switched my 30-minute workout plan once again. I also actually hurt my back recently too (not sure doing what? But, the pain has been going into my thigh and sciatic nerve and its very, very annoying---not excruciating---just highly aggravating. Sort of like someone is buzzing in your ear ALL. DAY.LONG.) Anyway, because of the back/ leg issue Ive been doing a lot more core exercises these days. So, this workout recruits a lot of stabilizing muscles from your back, hips and abdominal region plus incorporates a good deal of balancing exercises. By the way, I also bought the book Pain-Free by Pete Ecosque and Ive been doing his recommended e-cises (which are basically stretches) in addition to my 30-minute workout program and they seem to really be helping a lot.

My 30-minute workout program below not only works your core, but its a full-body workout that combines strength, flexibility and endurance exercises. Its a circuit training routine and the perfect way to get functionally fit in a very short amount of time. I recommend doing this workout 3 times a week. This is very doable as I know everybody can squeeze a 30-minute workout in (especially one that you can do at home) at least 3 times a week!! Getting physically fit need not be a full time job.

Be sure to concentrate on the movements and dont rely on momentum. Its always better to do the exercise with correct form and to focus on quality over quantity of reps or the amount of weight lifted. Take your time to learn the proper form and dont use excessively heavy weights.

Equipment:
The only equipment youll need are 1 pair of dumbbells.
Beginners will want to use 3 pound dumbbells and advanced exercisers will want to use 5 pound dumbbells. Follow the below workout program 3 days a week to get fitter, firmer, faster!
