6 Core Stability Exercises To Boost Your Fitness
6 Core Stability Exercises
Having a strong core is important for general health and wellness since it helps support the spine, lessen the likelihood of back discomfort, improve movement patterns, and increase balance, stability, and posture.
There is a wide variety of exercises and tools available for strengthening the abdominal muscles. However, several workouts can be done with little more than your own body weight or some minimal equipment. When working on core strength, it's crucial to remember to complete each exercise consciously, rather than relying on momentum.
You can supplement your existing exercise routine with the seven core stability exercises listed below. Try the adapted version of any of the exercises if the original is too difficult. If the highlighted apparatus is unavailable, your own body weight can be used instead.
1. BOSU Bird Dog
Objective: Solidity in the center
Ways to Succeed: Position your left leg on the dome's center and your hands under your shoulders. The right leg should be extended behind you to hip height with the foot flexed. Raise your left arm so that your thumb is pointing up. 20 seconds on either side, then switch.
Alternative Way: You can also do this workout while sitting on the floor.

2. Supine Heel Taps
Ways to Succeed: Put your arms by your sides and lie on your back. Draw your belly button in towards your spine and contract the abs. Raise the shins to a 90-degree angle. Take your time and bend your right knee until it's at a 90-degree angle, then gently put your heel on the ground. Repeat the same action with your left leg and keep going, tapping your right heel down first and then your left. Perform 10 repetitions on each leg. Two seconds are needed to drop the leg and another two seconds are needed to bring it back to a 90-degree angle; this makes a total of four seconds every repeat.
Alternative Way: Keep both feet flat on the ground and alternate sliding your heels across the mat.
3. Marching Glute Bridge
Objective: Strong lumbopelvic symmetry
Ways to Succeed: Put your hands by your sides and lie on your back. Glute bridge: Hips lifted, held. Raise your right foot off the ground such that your hip and knee form a 90-degree angle. Raise your left foot off the ground at a right angle, then place it back on the ground and come back to the center. Lift your legs up and down 20 times while maintaining a neutral pelvis and a tight core.
Alternative Way: Keep both feet flat on the floor and hold a static glute bridge for 30 seconds.
4. Stability Ball Dead Bug:
Objective: Strong center
How to do: In a prone position, bend your knees to 90 degrees. Press your hands and legs into a stability ball that is positioned beneath your knees. Use your ab muscles and pull your belly button in towards your spine. Holding the ball with your left leg and right hand, extend your left arm and right leg. Exercises get more difficult as the limbs become further extended. Maintain a 90-degree angle at the knees as you come back to the center (you can ease into this exercise by touching your calves to your hamstrings). Perform ten reps on each side, switching the position of your outstretched arm and leg after each set.
Alternative Way: Keep your knees at a right angle (90 degrees) to the floor as you perform the exercise without a stability ball. This exercise is quite similar to the Supine Heel Taps mentioned above, but it also incorporates the use of the arms.

5. Forearm Plank with Toe Taps
Objective: Strength in the hips and the core.
How to do: For this exercise, you'll need a BOSU balance trainer and set it up such that your arms are resting on the dome side. Begin practicing lateral toe taps by pushing off with your right foot, tapping the floor once, and then bringing your foot back to its original position. Move onto the left leg, and so forth. Complete a set by performing 10 repetitions on each leg.
Alternative Way: Start in a static forearm plank position with your feet hip-distance apart.
6. Side Plank with Torso Rotation
How to do: Extend both legs behind you and rest your weight on your forearms to form a plank position. Raise the upper arm overhead and rotate the torso so that the hand slides under the ribs. Do 10-12 reps on one side before switching to the other.
