support the lower back<\/a>. Begin in a tabletop position on your hands and knees, stacking your shoulders over your wrists and hips over your knees. Keep your spine neutral and core engaged as you lift yourself off the ground in a controlled manner. Only your hands and toes should be on the ground. Engage your abdomen, chest, and glutes, holding the pose for 15-30 seconds. Try to work your way up to a minute as you get stronger.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nV-Ups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The V-up is a simple movement, but challenging to pull off. It works your entire rectus abdominis, the core muscles that go from your pubic bone to your sternum. Lie flat on your back with your arms and legs extended and resting on the floor. In a fluid motion, reach your arms up and bring your toes to meet your hands in a \u201cV\u201d shape. Return to the starting position and immediately repeat, continuing until you complete 10-12 reps. Complete a total of three sets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Farmer\u2019s Carry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n A lot of people only focus on planks to increase core strength, but the core is so much more than your abdominal muscles. Some of the best core exercises<\/strong> are often the simplest, which is the case for the farmer\u2019s carry. You will need two kettlebells, dumbbells, or weights for this exercise. Begin in a standing position with your feet hip-distance apart and the weights on either side of you. Keep your back straight as you squat down to pick up the weights and then stand back up, engaging your glutes and hamstrings to do so. Make sure that you feel balanced and that the weights are not too heavy. Hold the weights by your sides (about a few inches from your legs) and start walking. As you walk, maintain a neutral spine and drop your shoulders to lift your chest. Try to walk for 20 steps and then turn around to walk back. Repeat for a set number of steps or time limit and then stop to rest before repeating a couple more times.<\/p>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
