30-Minute Workout Plan with Ivy (Core & Balance)
hotandhealthyliving.com 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 …
@Stef6788 oh no!!! so so sorry to hear about your muscle soreness. the one i just put up today (designed by Marissa Lysaght) is also pretty tough, so if you try it maybe just do 1 six-minute circuit to start?
so glad you like our Gold Coast Cure book too =) thanks so much for positive feedback!!
@hotandhealthyliving Yep, that definitely helps. So far I’ve tried 3 of your workouts and really like them. But the first one you put up on youtube is by far the worst for me as I had sore muscles for three days after the first time. but at least that way I know I did something right. I really like your book The Gold Coast Cure too.

hi! sorry for the delayed response—glad you like the workout! you can do each workout as a circuit (and repeat 2 to 3 x’s) or you can mix and match the workouts and create your own circuit. it’s definitely a good idea to switch things up a bit though!! hope this helps?
OMG, I think my heart rate jusz doubled only watching the first 4 minutes of this video..but I think it sounds like a great workout. I’ll definitely try that.
Does it make sense to rotate the different exercise routines you show or would it be better to do the same over and over again for a designated amount of time?
Thanks for the feedback! I think it might be the angle of the camera. It would be MUCH better if I had two cameras that could zoom in and out–that way people could see the moves better.
I like the ideas here, but I must say it looks like your spine is not in line, especially with the single leg dead lifts…..
Very helpful!
