Side Plank
Side Plank works your obliques, the muscles that run along the side of your core. Keeping your obliques strong can make rotating and bending your trunk easier.
BEGINNER
Bob And Weave Circle
Bob and Weave Circle is a great exercise to strengthen your core. It is also an excellent exercise to get the cardio aspect into it. Moreover, Bob and the weaving cycle is also an excellent exercise for quads and butts.
Instructions
- Start the exercise by standing in a sumo stance position with your feet wider than hip-width apart, toes pointing forward, and your arms in a wrestling position directly in front of your face.
- Bend your knees, push your hips back and lower your body into a squat, keeping your torso straight.
- Make a lateral movement with one shoulder to the nearest thigh. Continuing in circular motions, round your upper back towards the front of your body. Then make a lateral tilt to the far thigh.
Tips
- Don't hold your breath throughout the exercise.
- Don't cut the circles short during the movement; instead, focus on completing full circles.
- Don't crouch deeper while completing the circles.
