Core Stability Exercises That You Must Try

More than just aesthetics, a sturdy core is your body's powerhouse. Here are 7 exercises that you can try to keep yourselves fit.

1. The Classic Plank: Start on your elbows and toes, keeping your body straight. Hold, aiming not to let your hips touch the ground.

2. Dead Bug: Lie on your back, arms up, legs in tabletop position. Extend one arm behind your head and the opposite leg down. Alternate.

3. Side Plank: Prop on one elbow, stack feet, or place one in front; lift hips. Feel the burn on your sides.

4. Bird Dog: Start on all fours; extend one arm forward and the opposite leg back. Balance like Superman.

5. Russian Twists: Sit, lean back slightly, lift your feet, and twist from side to side.

6. Bicycle Crunches: Lie on your back, hands behind your head, and pedal in the air, twisting your torso.

7. Mountain Climbers: Start in a push-up position and run knees towards your chest, like scaling Everest with just your body.
