Once upon a time, not so long ago, a girl thought she’d make some workout videos for derby players.

I’ll show them how to train for derby, she said. I’ll make them do cool workouts that are sport specific, she said. I’ll just buy a camera and learn how to use editing software! I’ll write some scripts. And make a website. And build some sport-specific training programs. And make a standard derby fitness test. And blog about it…

And somehow, to her surprise, that girl began to reach skaters from around the world, helping them meet some of their derby and fitness goals. And along the way, she learned how to make the videos look a little more professional, and prevent her pants from falling down in the middle of them.

That’s right. One of that girl’s first videos ever was the Killer Core 250 Workout, and it featured an excellent wardrobe malfunction. Good times.

Nevertheless, the workout still has its merits – it worked on lateral stability and core strength that is directly applicable to delivering or receiving hits and staying on your feet when you get knocked off balance. Plus it made us huff and puff, AND it involved absolutely zero crunches. Hooray! So with all that in mind, that girl from 2 years ago is still working away at it, and trying to bring the derby community some helpful content that will make everyone be more fierce on the track.

I bring you, therefore, the Killer Core 251 workout! Revamped, updated, and with one extra rep added for good measure!
