Mat-only core circuits paired with push-up practice: a FitnessBlender session of under 30 minutes for core strength.
Two circuits pair core exercises with push-ups, followed by a push-up finisher, to build core strength and improve your push-ups. A warm-up opens the session and a cool-down with stretching closes it, and the video runs about 24 minutes in total. Everything is done on the mat, with no other equipment.

Equipment setup
Who Is It For?
Intermediate exercisers who want to strengthen the core and work toward better push-ups using nothing but a mat.
Who Is It Not For?
Not ideal if wrist or shoulder pain limits push-ups, or if you are new to exercise and need an easier core session.
Key Benefits
Improves core strength and push-up capacity in a single mat-only session that includes a proper warm-up and cool-down.
Things to Keep in Mind
Protect your lower back in the core work, keep a straight line in push-ups and drop to your knees if wrists or shoulders complain.
