Core strength helps us stabilize the body. We practice core strength every day in order to reduce injuries during exercise and make movements smoother. Equipment exercise is more effective than bare-hand exercise, but some people still exercise at home for various reasons. So what do you think should be done to practice core strength at home? Let’s go take a look below!
1. Simultaneous lifting and crunching
What we call simultaneous lifting here means that our hands and feet move toward the center at the same time Lift them up, using our abdominal strength to lift them up. When you are lifting, you can use a pillow to complete a passing movement as shown in the picture, which will be more effective in stimulating your abdominal muscles. During this process, you want to keep your legs straight and try not to bend them.
2. Leg lifts and abdominal curls
You can complete all the training actions we talked about today on the bed, then the pillow will become a good training tool for you, don’t waste it Let’s use this training tool to do this leg-raising and abdominal curling movement.
We can find a pillow of suitable size, place it between our bent legs, and use our leg strength to clamp it. Then we put our upper body on the bed and lift our legs upward to do a leg-lifting abdominal crunch.
3. Leg raise and circle
After completing the previous leg raise and abdominal crunch, let’s do this - leg raise and circle. As with the previous exercise, we need to place a pillow between our legs. But the difference is that in the previous action, our legs were slightly bent, so in this action, our legs do not need to be bent to remain straight. We need to keep our back close to the bed, straighten our legs and lift them high, make a circle movement, and feel the strength of your abdomen throughout the process.
