Five Of The Best Core Exercises

We've covered a number of strength training exercises for women that may help you achieve a more toned musculature, overall curves, or even a shapely butt.

To help you reach your health and fitness goals, we'll tell you the secrets, as well as some tips and training techniques.

The first thing you need to know about not having a small 'tummy' is that it's not just about abs, it's about trying to build a strong and powerful core. Not only will you have a "Waistline" And a "Mermaid line", but it's important for everything you do.

From your fitness workouts to something as simple as sitting up in bed! It's all about your core 'strength'. Working your core increases your balance, protects you from injury and helps you stand tall and confident. With the right exercises, you can strengthen the overall strength around your lower back in every exercise, which is also known as core strength.

The best core exercises for women can usually be done with just your own body weight and are easy to practice at home. Others require only simple equipment, such as dumbbells.

Today, we are sharing five moves to strengthen your core and 'tone' your abs.

You can complete three circuits to achieve the desired training effect. Give them a try.

Hard pull

Strengthen your glutes and posterior thighs, while strengthening your abdominals.

Start standing with your legs hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and place a dumbbell in front of your hips. As you work your lower abs, slowly bend forward at the hips and lower the dumbbell towards the floor, lowering the weight down your shins. Make sure your spine remains neutral and your knees are slightly bent. Use your hips to power the weight back and return to the start position.

Complete 21 reps and try to do an exercise to challenge your body. Start with a heavier weight for the first seven reps, lower to a medium weight for the next seven reps and a lighter weight for the last seven reps.

Standing knee touch

Start standing with your arms bent in front of your chest. Bend one leg towards the chest and bring the other elbow close to the knee. Then switch to the other side.

Repeat 21 times on each side.

Russian twist

Hold a dumbbell in both hands in front of your chest, then sit in a v-shape with your knees bent and core tight. Twist your chest and dumbbell to one side and then to the other.

Plank front jump

Strengthen your entire core while increasing your heart rate and metabolism.

Start in a plank support position with your hands directly under your shoulders and focus your strength. Jump with your legs towards your chest and land on your toes. Afterwards jump back into a plank position.

Repeat 21 times.

Ball-up curl

Lie on the ball so that your back is supported but your head is off the ball. Support your body by bending your knees forward and spreading your feet hip-width apart. Place your hands behind your head and slowly tighten them. Use your core muscles to avoid pulling your neck forward. Lower down slowly.

Try these exercises together. You'll find you're one step closer to your goal.
