Your core muscles are defined as:
“Major muscles included are the pelvic floor muscles, transversus abdominis, multifidus, internal and external obliques, rectus abdominis, erector spinae (sacrospinalis) especially the longissimus thoracis, and the diaphragm. Minor core muscles include the latissimus dorsi, gluteus maximus, and trapezius.”

Core exercises train the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and stability, whether on the playing field or in daily activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles. (Mayo Clinic)

Steps

1. Start on all fours with your hands holding a barbell. Position your feet on the StrongBoard Balance platform, shoulder width apart, and move into a full plank position. Be sure your abs are braced, hands are directly below your shoulders, and your head is in proper alignment with the spine.

2. Holding plank position, slowly lower yourself into a push-up and then back up to starting position.

3. As you are coming up from the push-up, pull one side of the barbell up off the floor. Pause in that position before gently bringing the bar back down to the floor.

4. Lower yourself back into a push-up and then back up to starting position.

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4. As you are coming up from the push-up, pull the opposite side of the barbell up off the floor. Pause in that position before gently bringing the bar back down to the floor.

6. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions/duration.

Tips

Keep your abs braced. Use your anti-rotators to help stabilize your hips. This will assist in keeping them from moving side to side. You can start this exercise by lifting the barbell just off the floor and progress to lifting it as high as you can. For more of a challenge, you can use a heavier barbell. You can also hold pause for a longer period of time.

Optimize Calorie Burn by Adding This to Your HIIT Workout – Cross Fire (Inertia Wave)

Work your heart, lungs, and core with Cross Fire (Inertia Wave); add it to your HIIT routine for intense calorie burn. This is an advanced exercise and should be performed on a stable surface prior to performing on StrongBoard Balance.

Steps

1. Start off by grabbing each end of the two inertia wave tubes, stretching them out enough to create resistance.

2. Step onto the StrongBoard platform with the sides of your feet against the platform handles. Because of the resistance pulling you forward, you can place your feet back about two inches from the normal stance. This will help counter the pull of the inertia wave.

3. Keep your body spring-like and stiff at the same time. Your ankle, knees, and hips will be flexed during this exercise but it is important to keep your abs braced. Hold the end caps of the tube securely and start to transversely flutter both tubes simultaneously on a horizontal plane. Move both tubes together as if emulating one continuous snake slithering through the grass. The Cross Fire movement is a spring-like oscillated side-to-side continuous pattern. This pattern results in a whipping motion.

4. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions/sets.

Tips

Keep the spine erect and abs braced. For more of a challenge, you can squat during the Cross Fire. You can also go for longer bouts before rest.

Best Move for a Perky Butt and Toned Abs – TRX Split Squats

TRX Split Squats will work your glutes, hamstrings, quads, biceps, shoulders, and core for a perky butt and toned abs. This exercise is an advanced lunge exercise. Although the target muscle is the quadriceps, this exercise is great for the soleus and for lifting the buttocks. The hamstrings, gastrocnemius, gluteus medius and minimus all act as stabilizers. With a split squat, the back leg should never be elevated more than 6-8 inches. If you elevate it any more than that, you risk hyperextending the spine and will create unnatural shearing forces on it. Because we are using the TRX with StrongBoard Balance, be sure to set the strap for the appropriate height. This will place us in the zone for this particular exercise. Depending on your flexibility (and core strength), will determine how low you can go.

Steps

1. Secure the two TRX straps together by looping one handle through the other.

2. Having dumbbells on the StrongBoard platform, place one foot across the center of the StrongBoard Balance® logo.

3. Place your back foot inside the TRX® straps and drop into a lunge so that the TRX hangs vertically, then reach down and pick up dumbbells.

4. Have your hands to your sides as you lower your hips toward the floor by squatting back and down.

5. Without letting your back knee touch the ground, push off your front leg to return to the starting position.

6. Once back to standing position, perform a hammer curl and a shoulder press.

7. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.

8. Complete the set on one side before repeating with the opposite leg and repeat for the desired amount of sets or duration.

Tips

Keep abs braced, keep your chest up, and keep your weight on your front foot.
