Core muscles are some of the weakest muscle groups on women, even though it’s a set of muscles we use in most of our daily activities. Years of bad form and improper posture weaken the muscles and cause pain where we don’t need it (and definitely don’t want it). If you continuously experience lower back pain or know you have weak stomach muscles, you should incorporate abdominal and back exercises into your routines at least 3-4 days a week. Before starting any new exercise routine, especially with preexisting conditions, be sure to consult your physician.
The 22 moves below are exercises that directly work the core muscles or are total body moves that keep the core engaged throughout the whole sequence. Proper form is of the utmost importance. Before adding additional reps or extra challenges with weights or other equipment (stability ball, medicine ball, resistance bands, etc.), be sure you have mastered the simplest form of the move.
Combine these moves with proper nutrition and you’ll be whittling your middle in no time!
Forearm Plank with Alternating Hip Drops: Get into forearm plank position. Keep your abs tight and make sure your body is in a straight line from head to ankles. Drop your right hip towards the floor, return to center and then repeat with your left hip. Alternate sides for 60 seconds.For an easier modification, drop your knees and perform the move.
