Challenging your balance is an essential part of a well-rounded exercise routine. Lunges do just that, promoting functional movement while also increasing strength in your legs and glutes.
Pushups are one of the most basic yet effective bodyweight moves you can perform because of the number of muscles that are recruited to perform them.
Squats increase lower body and core strength, as well as flexibility in your lower back and hips. Because they engage some of the largest muscles in the body.
Toe taps also place minimal pressure on your spine. If you have back pain, toe taps may be an ideal alternative to crunches.
Crunches are a classic core-strengthening move. The act of lifting your upper body works your abdominal muscles.
The bird dog engages both your abdominal and back muscles, so it’s an ideal core-strengthening move. It also challenges your coordination, balance, and stability.
An exercise we love to hate, burpees are a super-effective, whole-body move that provides great bang for your buck for cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength.
A healthy body requires a strong core at its foundation, so don’t neglect core-specific moves like the side plank..
Planks are an effective way to target both your abdominal muscles and your whole body. Planking stabilizes your core without straining your back the way situps or crunches might.
This pose activates your glutes to lift your hips, which helps train your core while toning your butt and thighs.
