Hi Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, it’s your girl Katie Austin here, and you are about to do an exclusive workout from the Katie Austin App. So if you guys like this workout, make sure to become a member of my program. You guys can do 400 classes anywhere, anytime to keep you fit all year long. Love you guys. 

Hey y’all, it's Katie Austin here and today we are doing—oh my gosh, my puppy is chewing a rock. Please hold. O.K. I’m going to be just holding her rock because you can't have that. I’m sorry. She's so cute though. 

So today’s workout is going to be deep core. So before we get into the workout, I just wanted to educate you guys quickly about deep core and really tell you guys what it is. I see a lot of videos on social media about deep core. 

What is deep core? So basically there are four major muscle groups of your core. And a lot of times we know of the rectus abdominis, which is basically the six pack muscle, and then the internal and external obliques, which we work a lot in other videos and other workouts online.

But, well, a lot of times my mom always has said this. The transverse abdominis, work the transverse abdominis when you’re doing the plank. And that’s exactly what we’re really doing when we’re doing deep core is we’re actually really making sure we’re feeling it in the transverse abdominis and also in a 360 stability way with your core, O.K.?

So in these moves you’re really going to hit that. You’re going to feel great. I love doing a lot of these moves because they don’t look very challenging if you’re not doing them. But if you’re doing them, you’re really feeling this, O.K.? So I want you guys to focus a lot on your breathing, going slow and stabilizing through your core with your hips tucked under.

Now, are you ready to get into the deep core workout? Let’s do it.
