Core Exercises
Targeted Core Work for Improving Posture and Functional Movement
Dead Bug
The Dead Bug is a core-strengthening and endurance exercise designed to help you build stability while learning how to move your arms and legs without shifting your pelvis or spine.
Bird Dog
The Bird Dog is a core stability exercise that strengthens the abdominals, back, glutes, and shoulders while improving balance and coordination. It’s often used in rehabilitation and general fitness to promote spinal health and control.
Plank
The Plank exercise strengthens the core muscles, including the abdominals, obliques, and lower back, which are essential for spinal stability, posture, and overall functional strength. It’s commonly used to improve balance, support proper movement mechanics, and reduce risk of lower back injury.
Side Plank Variations
The Side Plank strengthens the obliques, deep core stabilizers, glutes, and shoulders while improving balance and spinal stability. It’s an effective exercise for enhancing core control, posture, and functional strength.
Seated Marching
Seated marching is a low-impact exercise that strengthens the hip flexors, quadriceps, and core while improving circulation, coordination, and functional mobility. Adding a resistance band increases muscle activation and builds strength.
Pelvic Tilt
The Pelvic Tilt is a gentle core and lower-back exercise that strengthens the deep abdominal muscles, promotes spinal alignment, and improves pelvic control. It’s commonly used in rehabilitation, postural correction, and early-stage core activation.
