This workout session focuses on effectively targeting your core and glutes. Using a mini ball can enhance the challenge, although the exercises can be completed without one. The emphasis is on maintaining proper posture and engaging the muscles for improved strength and endurance.

To begin, position the ball under your lower back while sitting on a mat. If no ball is available, simply focus on posture. Sit tall, extend your arms forward, and engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine. Gradually lean back to feel the tension in your core.

Begin exercises with controlled movements, leaning back into the ball and then coming forward. Incorporate twists by extending your arms to one side, adding rotation for maximum core engagement. Alternate sides to maintain balance and symmetrical strengthening.

For the glute series, lay on your back with feet on the floor. Position the ball below the knees if available. Lift your hips into a bridge, squeezing glutes and stabilizing your core. Variations include lifting the toes or heels to activate different muscle groups and challenging your balance.

• Lift hips into a glute bridge.
• Squeeze the ball gently for inner thigh activation.
• Alternate between bridging and toe lifting.

• Bring knees into a tabletop and tuck lower abs.
• Extend each leg while maintaining core tension.

These steps ensure that your lower abs do the heavy lifting while keeping your back supported.

Lie on one side with knees bent and the ball underneath the top leg. Lift and lower the leg, focusing on engaging the glutes. Add a rotation or "clam" movement by matching knee and toe to enhance hip stability and oblique strength.

• Perform a side crunch by bringing the elbow to the knee.
• Increase range of motion with leg extensions.
• Utilize balance exercises for further stability.

End the session with stretches, including hamstring and figure four stretches to relax the engaged muscles. Also, incorporate flexibility exercises such as cat-cow and child's pose.

Remember to maintain hydration and consider mineral intake, such as magnesium, to prevent muscle cramps.
