OriGym Experts Recommend 7 Core Exercises for Posture, Balance, and Stability
Fitness experts at OriGym have recommended seven core exercises to enhance posture, balance, and stability. These exercises target specific areas like the lower back and glutes, helping to improve overall strength and support. The team, led by Abbie Watkins, includes Tom Gilling, Anya Alvarez, Cameron Creffield, Louise Mallinson, and Matt Douglas.
The exercises include the Russian twist, which improves rotational strength and targets the obliques. Strengthening the core in this way can positively impact daily tasks and athletic performance. The side plank engages the obliques and muscles around the hips, protecting the spine and improving pelvic stability.
Squats activate the glutes and pelvic floor, supporting posture and functional movements. Leg raises target the lower abdominal muscles, counteracting weakness that can contribute to poor posture and pelvic tilt. The glute bridge primarily targets the glutes, also recruiting muscles in the lower back and pelvic floor. Finally, the bicycle crunch targets the obliques, contributing to better pelvic and lower back stability.
Plank is another essential exercise that helps build stability across the entire core and improves postural support, reducing back discomfort.
Incorporating these exercises into a fitness routine can lead to significant improvements in core strength, posture, and stability. By targeting specific areas like the lower back and glutes, individuals can enhance their overall physical performance and reduce the risk of injury.
