The Best 3 Exercises for Core Stability
Are you looking for ways to improve your core stability? Strengthening your core is not just about achieving a toned physique, it's also key to improving your overall fitness and preventing injuries. In this article, we'll walk you through three effective exercises that specifically target your core muscles, boosting your stability and balance.
Core stability refers to the ability of the body's central part, which includes the abdomen, hips, lower back, and pelvis, to maintain a stable and balanced position, especially during movement. It's a crucial aspect of physical fitness that underpins most physical activities.
At Dynamic Fitness, we love to provide great options to improve strength because we know how important it is! Since exercise is our best medicine, let’s jump in.
Core Stability Exercises
Follow these exercises to help stabilize your core:
Lay down on the ground and sit up toward your knees.
Brace your core and start leaning back.
Only go as far as you can to allow yourself to come back up to the seated position.
Getting into a plank position with your elbows on the floor. Or, if that is too hard, you can do a push up plank.
Push up into a plank position.
To avoid fatigue, bring the top of your rib cage and core toward your pubic bone into a kind of cat position.
This will allow your core to stay engaged and keep stress off your back.
Start in a comfortable seated position.
Lean backwards to a place that you can hold and maintain with no pain.
Once you find that comfortable position, slowly turn right to left while maintaining that position.
Do 10 on each side.
