CORE EXERCISES SHOULD be a part of every weight training programme. End of story.
1. Cable crunch
2. Lying leg raises
3. Swiss ball plank
4. Hanging leg raise with a twist (not for the feint-hearted)
Starting position: Hang from a chin-up bar with your arms and legs fully extended.
Action: Now bring your knees up until they’re parallel to the floor and at the top of the movement twist to one side, back to centre, and over to the other side and back to centre. Hold for a second and drop the legs again, hold for a second and repeat. This is a BEAST of an exercise and you’ll be doing well to get 10 reps and three sets out of it if it’s your first time.
20 minutes is all you need for these exercises. We didn’t forget the word rest. That was deliberately omitted.
