Hollow Hold to Jackknife
This challenging exercise requires continuous contraction of your abdominal muscles. Start by lying on your back and extend your arms above your head. Engage your core as you lift your legs and upper body off the floor, holding them in a hollow hold position. Then, perform a jackknife by crunching up, bringing your arms overhead toward your toes and your legs toward the center of your body. Slowly release back to the jackknife position and repeat the movement. This exercise effectively targets your entire core, helping tone and strengthen your abdominal muscles.
Forearm Plank
It is a full-body exercise that demands strength and balance, primarily engaging your core muscles. Assume a plank position on your forearms, ensuring that your body forms a straight line from head to feet. Focus on keeping your lower back and hips from sagging while holding the position for 30 seconds to 1 minute. This exercise helps in building core strength, improving posture, and enhancing overall stability. [4]
