"We love core work at Bulldog," says Katy Conicella, one of the "Top Dog" leaders. "This is classic belly-up core with a twist. If you don't have a block, you can use a shirt, towel, or book." Repeat on both sides.

"A serious lower body burn with great oblique and balance work mixed in for good measure. Stay low to maximize the intensity. Do this on both sides," says Conicella.

"A Bulldog take on a classic yoga move," explains Conicella. "Strength, flexibility, and cardio in one great move. Build on your success with more reps."

"This is one of my faves because it's big-time cardio and core," says Bulldog leader Tessa Jenkins. "Totally Bulldog strong here. More reps equals more strength."

"A dynamic flow gives a heart-pumping boost to this terrific core and upper body move," explains Conicella. "Increase reps over time as your strength grows."

"Try this full series of movements several times in a row for a killer, Bulldog-style core-building exercise. You can even use a resistance band for an extra challenge," Conicella says.

"So sneaky-tough—a great way to work your hips and obliques," says Jenkins. "Focus on keeping a strong, straight back. We've got two versions here—one with your inactive knee on the mat and one (a bit more challenging) with your inactive knee slightly elevated."

"What an amazingly Bulldog way to kick it up a notch—work your slow-twitch lower body and core groups and your fast-twitch balance muscles with this move," Conicella says.
