Finisher Game: Kitchen Sink Core

Before class, grab a container that will act as your “sink.” Next grab a stack of paper plates and write your favorite core exercises on each plate and place inside your container. At the end of class, have participants pull a plate from the “sink” to determine which exercises will be done for the finisher.

Exercises are 20s of work, rest in between each plate being pulled. Length of this game can be determined by how much time is left in class.

Example core exercises:

• Plank Hip Dips
• Glute Bridges
• Supermans
• Spider Plank
• Windshield Wipers
• Side Plank Rotations

Cooldown:
5 minutes
