The exact days don’t matter for your workouts, but the key is to get at least one rest day
in between each consecutive 3 workouts. Abs and/or cardio exercises can be thrown into
the main workouts as well, or performed on rest days.
You can perform this core workout 1-3x/week as a workout on its own, or add 1-2 of these
exercises into the beginning/end of your main weights workouts. The frequency/volume
at which you implement these exercises will depend on the other indirect core work you
are currently doing in your routine, as well as how strong/active your core is currently.

THE CORE WORKOUT (EXERCISE TUTORIALS & PROGRESSIONS)
Exercise 1: Abdominal Bracing (Activation)
The first exercise we’ll do here will actually serve as an “activation” exercise to get you to
first learn how to contract all of your cores muscles together.
Step 1: Lay on your back with your knees
bent.
Step 2: Take a deep breath into your belly,
a deep breath out, and then when you near
maximal exhalation brace your core as if
you were prepare for a punch to the gut.
As a result, your lower back should flatten
on the ground and if you feel around your
midsection, sides, and lower back, all of
these areas should be firm. Continue
breathing while holding this contraction.
This is what’s termed as “abdominal
bracing”.
Going forward, be mindful of abdominal
bracing, apply that practice to each of the
following exercises we’ll go through, and
eventually it’ll just start to happen on a
subconscious level.

Exercise 2: Reverse Crunches
Step 1: Lay with your knees bent
either on a bench or on the ground
with your arms holding onto
something over your head. Then
from, posteriorly tilt your pelvis and
flatten your lower back by applying
the abdominal bracing practice we
previously went through. Then, lift
your knees up to 90 degrees.
Step 2: By using your abdominal
muscles, curl your pelvis up towards
your belly button.
Step 3: Slowly return back down to
the starting position, being mindful of
keeping that lower back flat
throughout each rep.

WANT TO SHORTCUT YOUR TRANSFORMATION?
If you want to strip off fat and build lean muscle as quickly and as efficiently as possible,
then you need to pair your workouts with a solid nutrition plan. The workouts do the
damage, whereas your nutrition is what’s responsible for the recovery and growth you
experience from those workouts – and is where most people fail.
This is what’s key to seeing results and is
exactly how thousands of Built With Science
members like Brady here were able to strip off
fat while building lean muscle in such a short
amount of time.
To get started with a step-by-step program
that takes care of all the guess work for you and
shows you exactly how to workout and what to
eat week after week so that you can transform
your body as efficiently as possible with
science, then simply take the quiz below to find
out which program is best for your specific
body and situation:

Exercise 3: Bird Dog
Step 1: Get on all fours with your back neutral
and core braced.
Step 2: While keeping your core braced and
lower back neutral, kick one of your legs
backwards while raising the opposite arm until
they’re both straight and level with your body.
Hold for a second or two at the end position.
Step 3: Come back down to the starting
position and reset, ensuring that your back is
neutral and core remains braced.
Step 4: Repeat the movement with the other
arm/leg. If you’re unable to do the full version,
you can start out by just performing the
exercises with one arm at a time, then one leg
at a time, then progress to the full version.

Exercise 4: Suitcase Carries
For this exercise, hold a kettle bell or dumbbell with one arm at your side and take steps
while ensuring that your torso remains upright and shoulders remain level. You want to
look as if you were walking without the weight added on one side. Walk for 30s on one
side, then switch the weight to the other arm and walk for another 30s on the other side.
As you’re walking, you should feel the lateral core muscles on your opposite side working
as you walk with the weight.

Exercise 5: Palloff Press
Step 1: Wrap a band around a fixture, take a
few steps out laterally, and assume an
athletic stance with legs slightly bent at
about shoulder width apart and your core
braced.
Step 2: Start with your hands close to your
sternum, and from there simply extend your
arms forward and back while resisting the
urge to rotate inwards.
Step 3: Return back to the starting position.
After you finish your designated number of
reps on one side, transition to the other side
by facing the other way and repeat the
