Lesson Plan
Core Strength Circuit Plan
Students will engage in a 45-minute circuit of core-strengthening exercises—planks, torso twists, partner drills—to boost posture, balance, and athletic performance.
A strong core underpins proper biomechanics, minimizes injury risk, enhances sports skills, and fosters lifelong fitness habits and teamwork.
