How to exercise your core at home away from the gym?

[Anonymous]

How do I improve my core at home? I've been working out for a few weeks [2-3 times a week] I'm starting to see progress but how can I work on my core at home? I don't really have any workout equipment other than an incline for sit-ups, is there any other exercise I can do to improve my core by the way I do core In the gym every few days but yeah, thanks

Buy some resistance bands. They don't cost much and they are highly portable. I take them everywhere with me. And I use them at the gym to work my core anyway because you perform resistance (the same principle of using barbells and dumbbells) core stabilization excerises with them that you can't do without them, which far more effective than traditional ab training. I highly recommend that you do a YouTube search for the Band Man Dave Schmitz. I took a lot of the excerises that I use to work my core from him.

by the way, the best excerise to work your core is pull-ups. No, that isn't a typo. When you do a pull-up, you have to use your abs to stabilize your core and keep your back and body straight. Trust me. It's by far the single best core excerise that there is.

It's all good man. Get those bands and look up the Band Man. If you keep with it, it might be hard at first but you'll probably get there faster than you think.

Planks are good. You can make them harder by doing them on your hands and walking out further.

If you have anything solid to hold onto dragon flags are good too.

L-Sit, v-sit supported by hands, v-sit to handstand, dragonfly raises

planks, sprints, those sideways sit-up things. I've heard a lota bad shit about sit-ups though man. also do wall-sits and air-squats.

Planking is a very good way to work on your core at home
