The Only Core Exercises You Need For Strength And Stability!

Physical therapist shares his top three core exercises to increase core strength, improve spine stability, and decrease lower back and hip pain. These exercises will not only strengthen your core, but can help with lower back pain relief as well. These are so much more than ab exercises because your core is so much more than your abs!

=====================================

If I had to narrow “core strengthening” down to only three exercises, these are the ones that I would pick!

🔥 The Only Core Exercises You Need For Strength And Stability:
Ready to improve your core strength and stability? Look no further! In this video, we're diving into the essential core exercises that will help you build a rock-solid foundation, improve posture, and enhance overall performance.

🤔 What Is The Core?
Before diving into the exercises, it's essential to understand what we mean by "the core." Contrary to popular belief, the core is more than just your abs! It encompasses a group of muscles including the rectus abdominis, obliques, transverse abdominis, and muscles of the lower back, pelvis, and hips. Together, these muscles provide stability and support for your spine and pelvis, facilitating proper movement and reducing the risk of injury.

When it comes to building a strong core and strengthening these different areas, I like to compare it to building a house. We want four strong walls built on a solid foundation. Therefore I want one exercise to work the front (anterior core), one exercise for the two sides (lateral strength), and one exercise for the back (posterior core).

💪 Why Is Core Strength Important?
Core strength is the foundation of nearly every movement we make, from bending and lifting to walking and running. A strong core not only enhances athletic performance but also promotes better posture, balance, and stability in everyday activities. From a rehab perspective, a strong core can help alleviate lower back pain, improve spinal alignment, and reduce the risk of injury during physical activity.

🏋️‍♂️ How To Strengthen The Core:
Ready to strengthen your core and unlock its full potential? This video features three of my favorite exercises to engage and challenge your core muscles effectively. I also want to show you beginner, intermediate, and advanced options for each of these exercises so you’re sure to find something that will meet your specific needs. Incorporate these exercises into your routine regularly to build strength, stability, and resilience in your core.

I appreciate you showing the beginner modified versions of the exercises.

I don't usually comment on videos, but you deserve full credit for these simple and concise demonstrations! I'm an amateur triathlete and these exercises are about the most important you can do since core strength is essential in all three disciplines.

Found your channel out of frustration. I tore my ACL, LCL and sprained my meniscus pretty bad on my bicycle. My physical therapist sucks! I used to do planks daily but it is very hard recovering from my tears. Ive never really been a gym rat or whatnot (not many pushups, situps etc... i stayed in decent shape just from cycling. Never really had a visible 6 pack. I can really tell that i havent been cycling at all i hate it 😅😅

The Superman exercise helped me so much with my skydiving arch. All around great video!

[FemininePhenom]

I’m excited to try these. I always have lower back pain and I’ve noticed when exercising, my back would make pop or cracking sounds while moving

[stephenlee]

I really liked how you included the varying levels of intensity for each exercise (beginner, intermediate, and advanced). Was wondering for the Superman exercise, how long should we hold that position for before going back down?

[mariateresarueda]

Any solutions to the following; 1.seatbelt straps not going back in smoothly. I bought the rubber seat belt covers so no more knocking on the plastic
2. Rear doors not opening randomly unless lock switch is pressed.
