Core exercise (Body Shape)

Core exercise: involves the use of your stomach muscles and back muscles in a coordinated way. Training one area of your body will not help you burn fat in that area.

Recommendation: up to 3 times a week, one set of each exercise for 12 to 15 repetitions.

Note: Breathe freely and deeply during each core-strength exercise. Focus on tightening the deepest abdominal muscle and the one you feel contracting when you cough, also called the transversus abdominis. If you have back problems, osteoporosis or other health concerns, talk to your health care professional before doing these core-strength exercises.

Equipment: carpeted floor or yoga mat

Movements: Abdominal crunch, push-up, bridge, single-leg abdominal press, double-leg abdominal press, quadruped, plank, etc
