Your core affects your balance, posture, and stability and it’s so important in all of your exercises. You don’t have to do 100 crunches a day to get a strong core. Most of the exercises you do at the gym are actually working the core at the same time. Keeping the core strong helps stabilize your body, support your spine, and enhance your overall fitness. Do these exercises to strengthen your core.
Single Arm Press
Stand with feet hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell in one hand. Extend the opposite arm to your side. Brace your core and raise the weight overhead then return to start for 10 reps.
Side Plank
Lay on your side with your elbow under your shoulders and both legs extended and form a straight line from your head to your feet. Engage your core and lift the hips off the floor and hold for 30 seconds on each side.
Glute Bridge March
Lie on your back with your legs bent, heels under the knees and feet flat on the floor. Raise your hips so the body is in a straight line from your shoulder to your knees. Brace your abs and lift your right bent knee over your hip. Hold for two seconds then lower and repeat with the other foot for 12 reps on each side.
