Hardstyle Plank
Planking every day for a minute is an effective exercise that offers numerous benefits. It not only strengthens your core muscles but also improves flexibility, balance and posture, and reduces belly fat. To do this exercise, lie face down on the ground and prop yourself up into a forearm plank position. Make sure your elbows are underneath your shoulders and hold onto this position for 20 seconds, then relax.
Dead Bug
Dead bug is yet another type of core-strengthening exercise that targets the abdominal muscles. Lay down straight and bring your knees directly over your hips and bend in a way that your calves form a 90-degree angle with your thigh. Next, lower your left arm above your head while straightening your right leg. Hold onto this position and repeat it with the other leg before relaxing. \
Hallow Extension-To-Cannonball
This exercise trains your whole body, your transverse abdominis, obliques, rectus abdominis, and lower back muscles. Get into a cannonball shape on your back, hugging your knees into your chest. Simultaneously extend your legs and arms outwards into a “hollow” position, pressing your lower back on the floor. Hold for some time and relax.
Barbell Back Squat
Another effective ab workout is this barbell back squat. All you need to do is stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, lift a barbell off the rig, holding it evenly across your shoulders. Then slowly, with weights, do regular squats and then relax.
Dumbbell Side Bend
This is a very simple exercise that strengthens your core. Stand hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell in your right hand with your palm facing inwards towards the torso. Keep your back straight, then bend to the side as far as possible. Hold for some time and then relax.
