3 Must-Try Exercises for a Stronger Core

In my opinion core strength is one of the most overlooked but most important aspects of physical fitness and well being. Having a stronger core also means less lower back pain so for all of you that spend countless hours at the computer (myself included), I’d like to share with you some of my favorite core exercises.

• Russian Twist (1st Picture)

  Russian twists are one of the best exercises for you abs. they will train your obliques and your TVA (Tranversus Abdominus.) it will also help you burn fat, tone your waistline and create good strong posture.

• Plank (2nd picture)

  The Plank is what we call a a “static” exercise, it isn’t dynamic and there are a couple different variations if it feels challenging I.e the high plank (where we are posted up on our hands) or the low plank (we are resting on our forearms)

  the Plank will increase your core stability, reduce injury and you ever get the feeling that life is flying by too quickly, I guarantee you do a plank and it will slow time down.

• Bird Dog (3rd picture)

  This exercise may have a funny name however it is super effective and easy to complete whatever fitness level you are. This exercise improves low back strength, balance, co-ordination and improved spinal stability.
