]]> When it comes to core workouts, the primary goal for many people is to achieve toned and defined abdominal muscles. While having a six-pack is certainly a great aesthetic goal, it’s not the only benefit of ab exercises. Strengthening your core actually provides quite a range of health benefits, from improved posture to better breathing. If you’re looking to enhance your overall health and well-being, know that abdominal workouts are a great place to start.

Improved Posture

The muscles in your abdomen and lower back play a crucial role in supporting your spine and keeping it properly aligned. By strengthening these muscles, you can improve your posture as well as reduce the risk of back pain.

Increased Stability

Your core muscles are involved in almost every movement you make, including standing, walking, and running. By increasing the strength and stability of these muscles, you can improve your sense of balance and reduce the risk of falls. This is especially important as you age.

Better Breathing

The muscles in your diaphragm and intercostal muscles play a crucial role in breathing. These muscles are connected to your core, so by practicing a variety of core muscle workouts, you can improve your breathing efficiency and capacity.

]]> Whether you’re a fitness fanatic or a casual gym goer, having good balance is sure to help you perform regular activities in your day-to-day life. Here are some simple yet effective exercises that you can perform in order to boost your balance and stability.

Stability Ball Wall Squat

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, wedging a stability ball between your back and the wall. Bend your knees to roll your body down the ball until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Pause, then return to your original position, making sure not to drop the stability ball.

Plank With Shoulder Tap

Go down into a high-plank position with your arms in line with your chest. Lift your right arm and touch the top of your left shoulder before returning your arm to its original position and switching sides. While performing this movement, make sure not to allow your hips or torso to move. This exercise will help to improve your stability as well as develop your shoulder and back muscles.

Lateral Lunge

Stand with your feet together while holding a dumbbell or kettlebell to your chest. Take a large step to your right, ensuring that your hips and core remain engaged until your right leg is bent almost at a 90-degree angle before returning to your original position. This will condition your thighs and glutes in addition to improving your balance.

]]> Improving your balance is essential for improving your daily life activities and movements. Although it seems simple, exercises for improved balance can be really challenging. Here are some of the best workouts that really improve your balance.

Each of these options is really different in how they work on your balance, but they all have one thing in common: they will help your body prepare to stabilize and balance throughout the daily motions of your life.

Boxing

Because boxing is a very quick, reactive sport, it helps improve balance a lot. Learning how to move your feet quickly and dodge obstacles helps your body do this in real life as well! It also strengthens your core and overall body muscles, so that you can handle any challenges throughout your day.

Pilates

Pilates is another way that you can improve your balance. It’s no surprise, in fact, that pilates was created to help achieve strength, mobility, and flexibility for boxers! Pilates workouts often target the deep core, which helps you stabilize yourself if you lose balance or trip on something. 

Yoga

Yoga is probably the first type of exercise you think of when you think of balance. With poses like handstands and tree poses, yoga is constantly improving balance. Even in poses that seem less “balance-focused”, your body is learning how to quickly and smoothly adjust to different positions.

]]> It seems like everyone is working towards a stronger “core”, or advertising the best “ab” exercises, but does anyone really know what the difference between “abs” and “core” are, or if there even is one? Lucky for you, we did the research so you don’t have to! Here are the main differences between “abs” and “core”, so you can decide which exercises to incorporate into your next workout!

The Abs (Abdominal Muscles)

The “abs,” or “abdominal muscles,” are the group of muscles on the exterior body. This group of muscles is typically what you think of when you’re focusing on achieving the look of a strong middle section. They support healthy breathing and some spinal support. It is a very small group of muscles that are strengthened with exercises that bend the torso and flex the spine.

The Core

Now the core is definitely similar to abdominal muscles, but there are a few main differences. The main purpose of the core is to maintain stability of the spine. This is a much bigger group of muscles located throughout the torso. The core is so important in our everyday lives, as it helps stabilize us when we are static or moving, preventing injury. The core is active in almost every exercise you do, but you can target it specifically during dynamic movement or through static holds (like planks).

Balance is just as important as running or lifting weights. Working together with the brain, eyes, sense of touch, inner ear, and every joint and muscle. Having great balance brings great posture both when sitting or lifting weights. Everything in your body is working equally and no part is compensating for another part, so you will have fewer aches and pains.

There are two ways to work on having good balance. Firstly, you need to train your brain and muscle reflexes to detect and react to unstable situations and secondly condition your core. The core is your deep abdominal muscles which form a center of gravity to stabilize your entire body.

There are so many simple ways to incorporate balance exercises into your everyday activities. Sit on an exercise ball whilst watching tv, stand on one leg whilst brushing your teeth, instead of sitting on a bus or subway, stand with your legs wide and engage the core to not fall over. If you want something a little harder, try to pick an item up off of the floor with one leg elevated behind you, the more advanced you become the higher you can lift the leg.
