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. Begin by grabbing each end of the two Inertia Wave tubes, pulling them out enough to create some resistance.

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

3. Keep your body spring-like and stiff at the same time. You should employ flexed ankles, knees, and hips during the Double Dutch method.

4. Hold the end caps of the tube securely. Start by rotating your right hand in a clockwise motion, while rotating your left hand in a counterclockwise motion. Both tubes move independently in an alternating clockwise pattern. The method of Double Dutch is a spring-like oscillated, continuous circular pattern.

5. Repeat for desired amount of repetitions/sets/duration.

 

Tips

Keep your spine erect and abs braced. For more of a challenge, you can squat while performing Double Dutch. You can also go for longer bouts before rest.
