A STRONG CORE IS THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING YOU DO!

-


A strong core is essential for overall fitness, influencing posture, balance, and physical performance. If you’re not already including core-strengthening exercises in your weekly routine, it’s time to start.


This workout plan consists of six exercises designed to target your mid-body muscles. Follow these exercises in three circuits with minimal rest in between. If you’re new to any of these exercises, find explanations below:


1. Plank: Support your weight on your forearms and feet, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels for 30-60 seconds.

2. Russian Twist: Sit on the ground with your feet lifted, twist to touch the ground on each side for 15 reps in each direction. You can use a weight for added challenge.

3. Bicycle Crunch: Lie on your back, legs lifted, and twist your torso to touch your elbow to the opposite knee. Repeat for 30 reps (15 on each leg).

4. Leg Raise: Lie on your back, hands under your hips, and lift your legs toward the sky. Lower them without touching the ground for 10-15 reps.

5. Mountain Climber: In a push-up position, bring each knee toward your chest alternatively for 30 reps (15 on each leg).

6. Dead Bug: Lie on your back with legs and arms pointed up, and extend one leg and the opposite arm simultaneously. Repeat for 10-15 reps with each side.


Your core includes several mid-body muscles responsible for spinal support, posture maintenance, and balance. It’s not just your abs; it involves muscles like the hip flexors and multifidus. A core routine offers a more comprehensive workout for your midsection.
