Wow, I wonder how old this video is… the outfits are kinda scary — but it’s pretty informative.
Personally I’d recommend the following exercises — I started using these after reading an article from Joey Atlas:
The following exercises can serve as a core training primer for beginners or they can be added or substituted into your current core workout routine.
1 – Lying face up, hand down at your side. Bring your legs up, knees slightly bent with the bottom of your feet toward the ceiling. This is your start position. While keeping the abdominals pulled in (contracted), slowly lower your right leg, until the heel touches the ground, and then raise it back up. Do this fifteen times. Then switch legs.
2 – Lying face up with knees bent, feet off the floor. Arms are extended as if reaching toward the sky if you were standing. As you breathe out, slowly bring your knees toward you by contracting your abdominals (pulling inward). Then breathe in as you return to the start position.
3 – Lying face up with knees bent, heels on the ground and toes pointing up. Lift your butt off the ground to engage the core muscles. Now, here is where the fun starts. Lift one foot off the floor, extending that leg until it is straight, bring it back to the start position (heel on ground) and then do the same with the other leg. Keep alternating until you do a total of twenty, ten on each side.
If this exercise sequence is too easy, go through it again and see how you do. If it was too challenging, decrease the number of repetitions to about five and do this every other day. Gradually increase the repetitions as your core gets stronger.The full program I think is here: http://www.justforyoupublishing.com/abscorestrength/index.html — I found the above three exercises really helpful.
Somehow i missed the point. Probably lost in translation
Anyway … nice blog to visit.
