Bike
Core routines consist of 12 exercises in 4 sets of 3 exercises each.
Hold each position for 30s to 60s except for dynamic exercises (in this case do as many reps as you can in 30s to 60s)
Do them in order with no rest in between exercises nor sets.
When a position requires one arm/leg, then do half time right & half time left (15s to 30s each)
Total time is
Beginner: 6 min = 12 x 30s
Intermediate: 9 min = 12 x 45s
Advanced: 12 min = 12 x 60s

Squish your glutes and hold your hip up, keeping a straight line from your shoulders to your hip and knees. Engage the core to relief stress from the lower back
