My Favorite Core Exercises

Here are some of my favorite core exercises

Please consult your physical therapist to make sure you should perform these exercises, and to make sure you perform them well. Because while these are my favorites, it doesn’t mean they’re right for everyone. Proper form makes these effective, while doing them incorrectly can lead to more muscle imbalances.

One of the best core exercises is the PLANK. We wrote a blog on how to do a plank correctly in January 2018, so I will just link you to that blog https://www.gobeyondphysicaltherapy.com/blog-1/2018/1/11/how-to-do-a-proper-plank

The next one is ABDOMINAL BRACING WITH MARCHING. I will let Intermountain Go explain this exercise.

Another great exercise is the BIRD DOG.
