Core Workouts
If you want to get super hardcore about it, here are some core workouts for you.

The plank is the basis of many good core exercises.
The plank is the basis of many good core exercises. It’s a static exercise, meaning you hold yourself in place for at least 30 seconds. The plank works all of your abdominal muscles. As well as your back and gluteal muscles.
It’s a great exercise for beginners because it teaches form and makes sure that you’re using the proper technique as you get stronger. It can also be used by advanced athletes who want to practice perfecting their form before moving on to more challenging exercises like crunches or sit-ups (which we’ll talk about later).

Pushups, though traditionally thought of as a chest workout, help build core strength.
Pushups are a compound exercise. They work the chest, shoulders, triceps and core.
Pushups are also great for building strength for other exercises like pull-ups and dips. They tone arms and chest muscles too!
Plank jacks are a great full-body workout that tones up the abs and legs.

The plank is an exercise that works the entire body, so it’s a good place to start if you’re new to working out or want to improve your overall fitness level. Plank jacks can be modified for beginners by holding for longer periods of time, but they’re still effective at providing a full-body workout if done correctly!
You can do planks anywhere. All it takes is some space on the floor and some determination (and maybe some music). You don’t need any equipment at all. Just get down on all fours as in standard pushups position. But instead of keeping your back straight like during regular pushups (which would make this move too difficult), keep it arched off the ground so that only one elbow touches at any given moment while keeping both feet flat on top of each other (or close enough) throughout each rep until completion before switching sides so both arms get equal work over time.*
Deadbugs are an advanced exercise that engages your entire core. And are excellent at working the obliques.
Deadbugs are an advanced exercise that engage your entire core and are excellent at working the obliques. To perform a deadbug, lie on your back with your arms overhead and knees bent. Lift one leg up toward the ceiling while keeping it straight (don’t let it bend). Then lift the other leg off the floor as well, keeping both legs extended in line with each other. Now rotate from side to side by bending one knee at a time (like you’re riding an imaginary bicycle), making sure not to let either foot touch down until you’ve completed all reps on one side before switching over to do them again with the opposite leg.

This movement should be slow and controlled; if you feel any pain or discomfort, stop immediately!
Plank forward bends stretch out your spine and force you to support your own body weight with just your abs, which is challenging even for experienced core trainers.

This exercise is good for beginners because it’s a great way to build core strength.
The plank position itself also strengthens the abdominal muscles while stretching out the chest and shoulders, so this move will give you an all-around workout in one fell swoop!
If you want to get super hardcore about it, try the Superman hold, which entails holding a plank position while lifting one leg off the ground (it’s also called “the flying Superman”). This requires incredible abdominal strength and endurance but will challenge anyone who strives for physical perfection.

To perform this exercise:
- Get into plank position with your arms straight under your shoulders and toes firmly planted on the floor.
- Lower yourself down into a traditional pushup position with elbows bent under 90 degrees. Your body should form an inverted V shape at this point as you’re supporting all of your weight with only two points of contact–your hands and toes/feet.–>


If you need to rest between sets or can’t perform as many reps as you’d like during one set, don’t worry about it. Just move on to another exercise that targets your abs in a different way (see below). Resting between sets will give you more energy for each new exercise so feel free to take breaks if needed!

In this workout routine (Core Workouts), we’ll be using two different types of core exercises: static holds and dynamic movements. Static holds are simple movements where the only thing moving is gravity. No actual movement is required on your part! Dynamic movements require some sort of movement from your body but aren’t necessarily “dancey” or explosive in nature. They simply involve controlled repetitions at lower speeds than more traditional cardio workouts like running sprints would provide

If you want to get super hardcore about it, consider doing these exercises in a circuit (Core Workouts).
- Do one set of each exercise without resting between sets. Once you’ve completed all four exercises, rest for at least one minute before repeating the circuit again (and then again).
- If you’re feeling really brave and have some extra time on your hands, try going through three or four circuits in a row!
Conclusion
If you want to get super hardcore about it, try the Superman hold, which entails holding a plank position while lifting one leg off the ground (it’s also called “the flying Superman”). This requires incredible abdominal strength and endurance but will challenge anyone who strives for physical perfection. Hope these Core Workouts help!
