Efficient Core Strengthening Bodyweight Workout
Home | Single Workout | Beginner: 4 exercises
This workout focuses on strengthening and sculpting the core muscles using a series of effective bodyweight exercises. Each exercise targets different parts of the abdominal muscles, making this routine comprehensive and beneficial for improving core stability and strength.
The first exercise, Floor Crunches, involves 3 sets of 15 reps. This classic core exercise focuses on the upper abdominal muscles. Ensure you keep your movements slow and controlled, lifting your shoulders off the floor and engaging your core throughout the movement.
Next, we move to Alternate Oblique Crunches, also comprising 3 sets of 15 reps each. This exercise targets the oblique muscles on the sides of your abdomen. It's crucial to twist your torso during each crunch, bringing your opposite knee towards the elbow to maximize engagement of the obliques.
The third exercise in our lineup is Lying Bottoms Up, performed for 3 sets of 15 reps. This exercise emphasizes the lower abdominals. It's important to keep your legs straight and lift your hips slightly off the ground to activate the lower abdominal region effectively.
We conclude the session with the Air Bike, consisting of 3 sets of 15 reps. This dynamic movement not only targets all regions of the abdominals but also adds a cardiovascular element to your workout. Ensure your elbows touch the opposite knee to engage the core fully and keep the movements fluid and consistent.
