• Prevent injuries
• Increase strength
• Stabilize your body
Here are 7 core exercises you need to include in your routine (& why they work):
1. Captain's Chair Leg Raise
Why it works:
• Effective for lower abs, where fat tends to accumulate.
• Targets lower abs which are missed by traditional crunches.
• Works core and shoulder stabilizers while holding yourself up.
2. Cable Crunch
Why it works:
• Directly targets the "six-pack" muscles with constant tension.
• Cables provide adjustable resistance for consistent progression.
• Ideal for developing core strength due to easy progressive overload.
