Ditch the crunches and focus on your deep core if you want to target your lower tummy, improve back pain and prevent injuries.
1.) Staggered stance bridge - the glute on the leg closest to you is the one doing most of the work. You should feel this in your cheeks and not your thighs. Exhale as you lift your hips up. Inhale as you lower them back down.
2.) Bridge + pull over- inhale as you lower your hips and the weight towards the floor. Inhale as you bring it back in front of you.
3.) Deep Core Hover - Engage your core, inhale as you go forward. Exhale as you come back to the starting position.
4.)Reverse table top plank - Exhale as you lift your hips up. Inhale as you lower them back down.
▪️Do not hold your breath when doing these.
◾️Keep your core activated while performing each rep. If you need to stop and reset your core, do so.
