There’s more to fitness than bending into a complicated yoga pose or even running really fast. In fact, balance and strength go hand in hand, and this week’s Grokker workout proves it.
In the 30-minute routine, you’ll build strength by practicing basic movements—rows, curls, and lunges—but add a balance element for each. Whether it’s reversing your lunge or taking an uneven stance while performing a row, the small changes will keep your core engaged and help you focus on proper spinal alignment.
The warm-up and cool-down are included, and dumbbells are optional. Clear some space in your living room and get started by pressing play below.
To recap, here’s the workout:
