The Workout Your Core Desperately Needs

posted in Health & Fitness on 9/23/2016

Who doesn’t want a tight and toned core? In addition to looking great, a strong core really cuts down on back soreness and aches and pains, so core training isn’t just vanity, it’s healthy! We’ve compiled some of our favorite core-strengthening exercises to get you baring your belly and standing straighter than ever.

1. Superman: This move really challenges your core and endurance.

2. Bicycle Crunches: Not only does this move target your abs, but it also gets your hip flexors and glutes! Remember to engage your core instead of pulling with your neck or back.

3. Toe Touch: Again, make sure you’re engaging your core, not your neck. If you’re feeling a pull in your neck, refocus your energy into your abs.

4. Wood Choppers: The wood chopper is a great move because not only is it great for your abs, but it target all the other main muscles in your body!
