Standing Core
Center Floor; At the Barre
Standing Core works the whole body, even though the focus is on the Core Muscles. It’s often combined with a Squat Series (Center Floor), however, it can also be paired with a Standing Side Thigh Series at the barre, such as Oblique Pulls. Standing Core can be included in other series or can be a standalone series unto itself. It can include a “cardio burst” and weights or props may be used for resistance.
