Maintaining a busy schedule requires energy, as Trinny Woodall<\/a> knows well. To that end, she recently shared an at-home core session from her regular fitness routine.<\/p>\n

‘Whenever I neglect my core in my morning workouts, my lower back always lets me know. We really have to build that internal corset to help us move through life without nagging aches,’ the Trinny London founder said on Instagram<\/a>, highlighting how modern lifestyles can often leave our cores weak.<\/p>\n

‘We spend so much of our days hunched over phones and laptops, and a few minutes of switching the right things on makes the most monumental difference to how you feel.’<\/p>\n

‘It is the powerhouse of the body. You need it to hold yourself up and support your back health,’ added her PT Nathalie Hayward<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After a brief Pilates primer, they moved into a six-move bodyweight core sequence.<\/p>\n
