    My Blossom friends, if you felt weak during this yoga session, you are not alone. I collapsed many times and felt weak, but the important thing is that I showed up and this is a journey that you will be better little by little, not suddenly. just show up and continue my buddies. You will get this, we will get this. This community will get this. Namaste 🙏

      Same here, I was so proud in January that I could even "do" a forearm plank, but this is an all new level. I can not imagine those people, that Adriene suggested at the end, could do this workout 2 or 3 times in a row! Proud that I was able to finish even though it was not a graceful look. Glad I have others to share the experience!

    WONDER ❄ | December 17, 2023 | We did it y'all! I know what to expect now with this core buster, so I did it first thing before having my breakfast 😆. I woke up with a bit of a fussy lower back to I was a little worried, but it only really made itself known during the plank series and not too bad. I followed up with a few lower back stretches (NOT a second or third round of this practice, which frankly Adriene, I don't think will ever happen 😅). 🙏

    Nice and light. RIGHT. No, I find this one to be one of the toughest of Adriene's shorter videos, and even laughed when ten minutes before the end, she said we were almost done. I had trouble doing all the reps, and likely binging on bread yesterday did not help today's practice. That said, I still felt stronger this time around with it, and having meditated immediately beforehand, my mind had no unkind words to share. I leave it feeling refreshed and ready for a nice, long walk over to a pond I last visited a year ago, hopefully without much rain.

    BLOSSOM | February 9, 2022 | 🌸 One of the more brutal core practices for sure, and somehow I always forget because "Core Strength Ritual" sounds not that bad! But then Adriene says "we're almost done" HALFWAY through the video and I remember it's THIS one! 😂 I accidentally on purpose skipped a few reps, especially in the crunches sequence because, even two+ years into daily Yoga with Adriene, my neck does get sore. Having said all that, it's because of practices like these I have built such a strong core over the last two years. 😅

    This one will likely never make my YWA favorites list. It emphasizes all the weak points in the back, neck and abdomen. It is enough for me to go easy, stop when needed and not allow the mind to reach frustration. Even though I would not mind never seeing this one on a calendar again, I do have to admit that some spark, focus and energy has been regained from the effort I was able to put in.

    Wow that one was sweaty!
    A while ago I learned that I shouldn't be afraid of 40+, 50+ minutes long practices because you give us little breaks throughout the workout but I should rather beware these 20-30 minute long ones, especially with "the core" in the title 😂

      I know this is a super old comment so maybe you won't see the reply, but what other vids would you say are similarly heavy with core stuff? I've been using this video regularly to supplement a lifting program, but I'm getting to where I could use some variety, and previously I tended toward flowing/stretching type sequences so haven't really bookmarked any core focused stuff.

Oh yeah plus my abs were screaming!! But I slowly started incorporating this into my practice regularly until it became a weekly commitment. I set myself the target of doing this for 30 days straight in June and I am so CHUFFED that I did it! And I really do feel the results, underneath my layer of squish I can feel muscle! And I can make it through the whole routine now although I still do not have the desire to do it more than once in a row, thank you Adriene ;-)

It's going to be interesting to read my previous experience. This session is aligned with what's happening in my life - challenges. I pushed through. Lastly, I stated, "I am strong." I will dance 💃🏾 through the obstacles and overcome them to achieve my goals. Life can be frustrating. Then, there is beauty in the breath that reminds us it isn't so bad we rose for another opportunity to work toward our goals. I feel so accomplished after completing this session, so late in the evening. Now, I'm going to study another practice with my other instructor. Best wishes everyone! Namaste and Ase! 🦋♥️🦋

I asked the teacher what I had to work on in order to improve and she said I could do knee push ups, which is great. But then I realized Adrienne has so many videos towards building the core and arms. The yoga also increases flexibility which is nice because I learned that my hips were super tight as well!! I am a little nervous how much this is going to hurt, but I just went through a break up, so it's time to get stronger in as many ways as possible.
