Your core is the powerhouse of the body.

It protects the spine and increases your strength + power while stabilizing your entire body.
Unfortunately, in most people they're weak due to long periods of sitting.
Let's fix that. Here are 4 exercises to build a strong core: -
Bird Dogs
— Dan Go (@FitFounder) June 17, 2023
This exercise improves core stability & strengthens the front + back side of your core & glutes.
It also improves balance while strengthening the lower back, preventing injury.
The key is to do these slow & controlled as shown in the video. pic.twitter.com/WIZA99CsE5 -
Side Planks
— Dan Go (@FitFounder) June 17, 2023
The obliques are the most underrated part of the core.
They support your lower back while improving posture. They also make your abs look amazing if you ever get down to a low body fat %
Side planks also strengthen your shoulders, hips & glutes. Do these daily. pic.twitter.com/422hKFbXs4 -
RKC Planks
— Dan Go (@FitFounder) June 17, 2023
This plank is amazing for building strength in your core & improving overall function.
The difference between these & a normal plank is that RKC planks are active.
You forcefully brace your core & squeeze your glutes while flexing your arms & back. pic.twitter.com/54Pu7TWZUp -
Glute Bridges
— Dan Go (@FitFounder) June 17, 2023
Aside from your jaw, your glutes should be the strongest muscle in your body due to sitting most people have weak glutes.
Bridges strengthen your glutes.
This supports your anterior core, stabilizes your hips & keeps your low back healthy. pic.twitter.com/g6YTSmKZ65 -
