6 Exercises to Improve Your Core Strength
4. Push-ups
This exercise should be done under supervision if you are going to do for the first time. Get on the floor with your face facing the floor. Now place your hands a little wider than your shoulders. Keep your legs straight together or a little apart as per your comfort. See that your body is not sagging from anywhere in the middle or at the knees. Slowly bend your elbows till they are at 90 degrees. Slowly push back to the first position. Start with only 2 to 3 push-ups to begin with.
5. Hip Lift
Lie on your back with your arms by your sides. Your palms should be facing up. Raise your legs perpendicular to your torso. Lift your hips a few inches off the floor, keeping your legs pointed up. Slowly lower your hips back to the floor.
6. Upward Push-up
Lie on the floor facing the roof. Lift both your legs in the air at 45 degrees. Try and hold them. Now raise your torso and hands towards the legs. This exercise takes care of the back, torso and abdomen muscles.
