I thought today I would post some of my favorite core exercises that you can do at home. Surprisingly, the best core exercises are squats and deadlifts - I know most of you don't believe me - but they are! However, below are some more traditional ones that I also like :)
Pike with Feet on Stability Ball
This move can also be done with your feet on the floor.
Start in a plank position with your shins on the ball, your body is in a straight line from head to toe. Then contract your abs and lift hips toward ceiling, as if you were going to do a handstand, rolling ball down toward feet.
Lower back to start position.
Repeat 10-20 times.
Cross legged Sit Up
Unfortunately, I couldn't find an image from this one.. .but it's pretty self explanatory.
Lay down with your legs criss cross able sauce.
Now lift your shoulder blades and low back off the floor towards the ceiling. Hold for 1 second and return to start position. Breathe out as you lift up and in as your lower down.
Repeat 20-30 times
Plank Jack
From a plank position, jump your feet out wide and then jump them back in to start position. Repeat approximately 25 times.Creepy Crawler
From a plank position bend one knee towards the elbow on the same side and return to start position. Then bend other knee towards the other elbow. Repeat 10-20 times.This exercise can also be done from your forearms.
Enjoy!!
