Beginner Core Exercises

Buffing up your core muscles is all about stability, these three variants of exercises will help you build your foundation in carving your core, hip balance and posture stability.

Plank

The staple core exercise. The plank involves minimal movement and maximum effort, suspend your body using your forearms and toes, keeping a straight position starting from your shoulders down to your ankles. Add difficulty by extending your arms and letting the hands do the support or chill and reduce the difficulty by letting the knee support your lower body.

Dead Bug

Lay back and start to raise your arms upward towards the ceiling, and your legs parallel to your arms but with your knees bent forming a right angle. Then proceed with lowering right arm and left leg until they hang a little above the floor, then restart from the top, proceeding with the other set of limbs.

Boat

Start with a sitting position with bended knees. Keep a straight posture while slowly laying back while extending your arms in front then start raising your feet from the ground keeping your legs together. You can add difficulty by extending your legs straight and form a V-shape, also, you can raise your arms and spread your legs wider to make it harder to maintain the form for better results.

  1. Ball push-away Reps 8 Rest 0sec
