Some of the muscles found in your core include: Erector spinae: this is the muscle around your spine and helps you stand up straight. Rector abdominis: better known as your “abs.” Obliques: these are found on the sides of your torso and help you twist (and shout). Gluteal muscles: also known as your “glutes” or “butt” or “bum” or “ass” or – okay, you get the point. In fact, according to a study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, total-body strength moves like squats train the core to a greater degree than some core-centric exercises, like the superman and side bridge.Plus, total-body movements burn major calories while improving overall strength. Strengthening your core muscles helps stabilize your body and support your spine.

Here are 10 exercises to try, whether you’re a fitness newbie or a seasoned pro. Your core is your center of gravity, and a strong core allows for stronger functional movement throughout exercise and everyday life. Whether you realize it or not, you should be engaging your core constantly whether you are doing a workout, standing in the kitchen cooking a meal, or sitting down at work. Core exercises should be done to help to train your center and prevent motion, but many core programs do the contrary.

Here are the 5 best core exercises!A strong core is vital for overall fitness and pain-free movement. Check out these 5 core exercises everyone should be doing for improved posture, better stability, and less back pain.

Not only will you tone your abs and slim your stomach, core exercises will also help you with day-to-day activities.. 5 Core Exercises Everyone Should Be Doing. Plank. Here’s my guide to the 11 best core strengthening exercises you can do at home with no equipment. 1. Planks.

Let’s start with the mother of all core-strengtheners, the plank. Planks not only work your abs and obliques, they challenge those core muscles deep inside your body that help promote stability and power. They can also reduce back. Start firming up your core with these gentle Pilates-based exercises, which will give you a solid foundation for all other movements.

Perform 15 repetitions of each exercise, most days of the week. The core muscles stabilize your spine by preventing it from twisting or breaking and generate power to carry out various movements. So, everyone should strengthen their core with these 10 easy, no weights, at-home core exercises. Swipe up! 10 At-Home Core Exercises.

Core-strength exercises strengthen your core muscles, including your abdominal muscles, back muscles and the muscles around the pelvis. Strong core muscles make it easier to do many physical activities. You can do core-strength exercises on a carpeted floor or mat.

Breathe freely and deeply during each core-strength exercise.

  • Okay, so I looked for other stretches and found this. I truly love your instructions, however, I would much prefer if you worked completely through each of exercise, rather than show us the idea and going on to next. If we are to do one set of ten, do them through to the end with us. I’m sure I’m not alone in this way of thinking. I look forward to some new stretches in this manner. Tks.

  • Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought since Rectus Abdominis was actually one muscle, there was no distinction between “lower abs” and “upper abs”. They both perform the same action so

Can see years of hard exercise behind those moves and exercises. All the best. will check out your subscription and your online site for more. Cheers from Canada

  • These are awesome exercises. And the exercises are broken down very well. Do you recommend doing them every day or every other day?

  • Please keep making videos like this and videos on excersizes we should do every week! Loved this! This was one of the best fitness videos I have seen by far! ❤ Also, please make how to write your own home work routine.. I want to learn how to independently plan my own workouts.

  • Super duper core exercise thank you would you pl provide a video on back strengthening lower and upper back thanks in advance!

  • I’ve been suffering from lower back issues for nearly 2 years, and this video just made it vanish!!! I’m not sure for how long, but it’s a clear indication that my core isn’t strong enough! Now i know what I have to do in order to get stronger. I can’t thank you enough sir. Wow! I feel GREAT!!!

  • How should the elbow be when doing the hip flexor/abductor exercise? You said tucked under, but would it be extended or would I be laying on it?

  • Really excellent exercises. Started feeling better with muscle relaxation in an hour after exercise. Certainly much better than what I was doing before

  • Hello my friend, great video, My story is that, I were always active person, I use to do break dance, I did kick boxing and box savatte, play a lot of football (soccer)… it was everything great back in the days, until I had motorcycle accident in November of 2017 and after that my lower back problems started, once or twice the pain was so strong that I was injected with voltaren injections and took some pils for muscules, to make them relax… I use to walk a lot, going off road adventures in mountains and so on, but now if I walk a lot or exersise more than I can take with the given situation, wich is much worst than it used to be pre accident period of my life, the lower back problem is knocking my door and it is really anoying with strong pain often. So do you recomend these exersices here? it will help my condition?
    Oh forgot to mention that I’m doing also an office work, that means that I’m siting in a office chair alot….
    waiting for your advice and thanx in advance!

  • Hi Jared I didn’t know that you had to strengthen your core until very recently thank you for the exercises do have any exercises to get rid of and tighten your inner thighs?

  • Hi Jared, Have recently found your video and subscribed now. I have very weak upper body and carpal Tunnel syndrome. Is there a modification for Bird Dogs so that it is not the compromised position on the wrists?
    Used to be able to hold elbow plank for 1 mins 6 months ago but stopped during Covid this last time trying have bad inflamation on the muscle across the upper chest. Is there any modification for plank or side plank?
    By the way how long do I need to let the injury recover before resuming these exercises?
    Thanks.

  • Are these exercises safe for a herniated disk in the lower back? I’ve heard that the double leg raises can exacerbate pain in the case of the herniated disc. What about the windshield wipers? Thank you!

  • As someone who has a bulging disc/arthritis in my lower back, it is very hard to get any type of solid definition from any workouts as anything strenuous or challenging makes it difficult to make significant progress. I am in pretty good shape generally speaking when it comes to the rest of my body, but find ab workouts nerve racking due to fear of injury. Is it possible to get defined abs (six pack) from high repetition/low impact exercises such as this? If so, are there any risks to maintaining a workout like this? Please let me know

  • I’ve had a spinal fusion & some discs thinning. Are these strengthening moves right for me? I’ve gotta do something OR I’ll feel worse.

  • Love your work. Do you have a less difficult exercise I can use to work up to the side plank. I am only able to do 2 or 3 for only 20 seconds?

  • I’ve done one day of this exercise and, although I found some of the advanced exercises to be difficult, I’m not feeling anything afterwards. Am I supposed to be feeling some pain/strain in my abdominal muscles, back and glutes or have I perhaps done these exercises incorrrectly?

  • Oh no no no DONT do the SUPERMAN!!! IT IS A DANGEROUS EXCERCISE, IT PUTS YOUR SPINE UNDER PRESSURE AND CAUSES SPINE AND BACK ISSUES, AND CAN LEAD TO PERMANENT DAMAGE AND PAIN.

  • Excellent video! I’m a proponent of bodyweight exercises and walking. The more we move our bodies, the healthier we are. Average walking speed studies show that an older person’s pace, along with their age and gender, can predict their life expectancy just as well as the complex battery of other health indicators such as blood pressure, body mass index, chronic conditions, and smoking history. Walk on, Frank

  • @ 3:48 Hard to reach belly fat? You know spot training is a myth right? https://breakingmuscle.com/learn/spot-reduction-one-final-attempt-to-kill-the-myth

  • Hey Jared, Great exercises well demonstrated and explained. Just one thing I’d like to mention (as an editor), Everyday in the title should be Every Day.

  • Thank you very much. Great core strengthening exercises. I had piriformis muscle injury from running and iliac crest problems. The exercises helped very much.

  • Can you also do some of these with the exercise ball, and exercises like dead bug and supermans every day? I’ve had some lower back/glute problems for about 5 months, and been trying different treatments and lately a chiro, who told me to do ball exercises almost twice a day here in the beginning of her also treating me. But I’m unsure.

  • are these exercises recommended for someone who has regular back pain? Not necessarily using the exercises to provide relief once pain has begun (I find stretching and touching my toes better for that) but instead, doing them daily or 5x per week at least consistently, with the goal of providing long-term relief via a stronger overall core? any other videos you would recommend for this purpose or is this one pretty good to start out? thank you!

  • Thank you so much for your content. I just watched/did 3 videos in a row and feel soooo good! The exercises are simple, short, and effective. Exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU so very much!

  • Should my back be sore after this? Haven’t done them in a while and did them the other day back was stiff the next day did them that night and the next day I feel very sore in my lower back

  • Hello sir…Can I still go for weight training as well just to have muscularity…What do you suggest, can we manage to do weight training slowly gradually while doing neck & low back excercise….

  • Will this help define abs as long as my eating stays in check? And how many days a week to do this? I workout 3 times a week and am wondering if I should do these 7 days a week in the morning or so, or if I should only do them on off days when I do not workout, thanks.

  • This back pain guideline has really impressed me personally. I was a bit uncertain but used it yesterday and woke up with a more relaxed back. I actually proposed this guide to my mom and dad due to the good results I discovered. They like the plan too. It could solve your back problems very effectively. Look for this guide on Google, the guide name is Mason Κonozback
    good luck

  • Hi Coach, thanks for these 5 core exercises. I have a quick question. I had a disc joint degeneration along my cervical spine at C5,C6 a month ago. My doctor has advised to stay off all exercises but if I still want to work and strengthen my core, will these 5 exercises work without straining the neck?

  • Do you have any suggestions for a 6’4″ tall guy for doing side planks? That distance is difficult to stay up in that position as the stress on the shoulder becomes intense. Thanks

  • I been on a weight loss journey since December and for the last two months I added cardio and weight training to my workout routine but I strained my back at work a week ago. Although the pain is almost gone I want to spend some time strengthening my back before resuming my weight loss journey. Would this be a good work for the time being???

  • I have been doing this routine 3-times a week for a few weeks now and it’s been revolutionary. More stability when walking and doing other exercises and way less pain in the morning in my back. Can’t wait until I can strengthen up to do them every day and see how much it improves my quality of life! Thank you so much for the video!

  • Thx for sharing,,, i only have tires of my care to work with,,, this vid is insightful though!! We need to be in real life handling real weight!!

  • Hey Dr. Nicholas, great video I will try this. I injured myself from “Free Skating” it’s a new thing, looks like skateboard and inline skates together. Questions: I thought that Free skating will be good for my core, legs and ballance etc. but somehow my old lower back injury from almost 20 years ago comes back. I wonder if it’s the free skates or me not stretching enought. Thanks!

  • Are these exercises safe for a herniated disk in the lower back? I’ve heard that the double leg raises can exacerbate pain in the case of the herniated disc. What about the windshield wipers? Thank you!

    Thanks!

  • Can I use the Bird Dog for low back, left side muscle pain, still existing from 7 fusions (L5-T11) in May 2020? or is there another one I should be doing? Thx

  • Kudos for the Video! Apologies for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts.

  • When trying to do the bridge, my quads kind of block me to stretch a lot, they become super stretched in a way that I don’t even feel my gluteus contracting anymore. Please can someone give me an explanation? I have both upper and lower crossed syndromes. If I get my feet away from the glutes to make a more of an obtuse angle, then when I try to make the bridge, my hamstrings really contract they stop me from feeling my glutes contract.

  • For someone who has a posterior pelvic tilt (and stands and sits with their hips forward), would the bird dog and prone extensions be good to implement?

  • Can i do these exercises with SI joint pain as well? I am trying to lose some pregnancy weight and also tone my body muscles. But the pain is so severe that i am scared to do anything that can make it worse. Plz help

  • Pain and fatigueness appears on right side of back from lumbar region upto scapula after 10 min. Of sitting. I think i develop this due to poor posture while studying. Should I perform these exercises? Suggest me some please!

  • Thank you for your videos Dr. Jo. When doing plank exercises, I noticed that it’s harder to perform it when your legs are further away from you. Is it better to keep your legs farther away from your butt? Also I have been trying to hold my one legged planks for as long as I can. Is there a benefit to this or am I benefittting more from doing more reps. Thanks in advance!

  • thanks for this, Jared. any thoughts as to why pulling in my abs during a regular plank causes nausea? i don’t think it’s related to eating or not eating before, i’m careful to eat well long enough in advance that i’m not still digesting it when i work out. thanks in advance.

  • Why do you use a pillow for the bridge exercise? I’ve seen you use the pillow for several exercises, but not others is their a specific reason? TIA

  • New to your Channel and I love it you explain very good!! And those exercises are simple and easy to do it. Thank you �� Congratulations

  • Getting 8 hours of sleep alongside of this on a consistent basis will help a lot as it will activate the growth hormone for recovery. Hope this helps, God bless!

  • First and foremost, if the muscles of the hamstrings are tight, coulc.it/painfix they are more susceptible to tearing. No matter if you’re an elite athlete, stay-at-home-mom or average Joe, a muscle tear in the back of your legs can take months to heal and recover from making life very challenging.

  • Do you have this workout in a video where you approach it like a class rather than tutorial? to (for people who can only concentrate on posture not count reps etc…) Thank you ✌��

  • These are awesome exercises. And the exercises are broken down very well. Do you recommend doing them every day or every other day?

  • Please don’t think you not gonna be hurting after doing these exercises. It’ll just take your mind off what’s really bothering you but. You’ll never in life be pain free. We’re all in this together

  • I experience the same problem but I found out some of the exercise are not good for lower back because they case some pain while doing them.
    1not cold drinks or food.
    2always use hot water or hater for your lower back.
    3sleeping position should be on your back and when you wake up you should be very careful and use your side instead.
    4visit your physical therapy’s regularly for treatment and advice.
    5do not stand for long time and do not set for long time.

  • Soon I’m going to shoot everybody in that apartment anyways and everybody that wrote books off of me all you have to do is admit you learned it from me and give me credit in the back your books I really don’t care that much that you’re writing books off my work but I’ll go back to your books and I’ll read them off my work and I’ll upgrade them to make a new edition later on… I’ll keep it inside the apartment don’t worry like a police officer told me when I was in Illinois cuz they make you do it but everybody else that’s outside in the world if you go too far it’s a rubber bullet for you in your leg because I like to follow laws but y’all harassing me and I’m a one-man Army in an army needs Arsenal either I take it from somebody or i buy it from somebody that’s where we’re at in this story…

  • Hey Jared, I was told my doctor that i have a really weak core, and that I need to strengthen in the inner core muscles. Unfortunately the ones instructed are tough to understand. For eg, I was asked to stand against the wall on my back, then place my hands on my bellybutton and the middle of my chest. Then I have to move my pelvic region up and down! I just couldn’t do it. Can you explain this exercise or any other which can strengthen the inner core muscles?

  • I’ve been suffering from lower back issues for nearly 2 years, and this video just made it vanish!!! I’m not sure for how long, but it’s a clear indication that my core isn’t strong enough! Now i know what I have to do in order to get stronger. I can’t thank you enough sir. Wow! I feel GREAT!!!

  • Thank you, Dr. Jared! Love your videos, and am using this one to help me recover from a relapsed back issue. It’s good to know that I can do these moves and trust that they’re the right thing to do.

  • hey coach #Criticalbench, my left flute is lazy guy and doesn’t fire up as a result Quads compensates often. Please can you share some exercises on the same.

  • Hi Dr. Jered. Thank you so much for these 5 short core exercises. I’m 81 and pretty good shape but with lower back and right pain sometimes. These exercises are helping a lot. I want to get rid of belly fat but having a difficult time with that. Do you have more exercises just for belly fat? Thank you.

  • Thx i was in car accident mny years ago hve a bad back everytime i try working my core i get serious back pain i hope ths helps me

  • Hi man. Great video. Any chance you could explain your form on the kettle bell swing please? I know that it’s easy to do the swing in such a way that you lose a lot of the abs focus, could you please talk is through your motion?

    Thanks. Ignore the armchair experts on here, you’re doing good stuff.

  • What? U don’t want to waist our time, and charge $40with a 20 min vid to describe the results and testimonials first?�� excellent, just demo and explanations-have subscribed and saved-will contribute; with extreme lower back pain and no patience, great video!

  • Cheers for the Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you tried Chireetler Exclusive Workouts Rule (just google it)? It is a good one off guide for learning how to burn fat fast using a unique super hero method minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my cousin finally got cool success with it.

  • Winner of a video, I have been researching “sciatica video” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about Venayden Wanillian Method (do a google search )? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my cousin got excellent success with it.

  • Hello sir…Can I still go for weight training as well just to have muscularity…What do you suggest, can we manage to do weight training slowly gradually while doing neck & low back excercise….

  • For my cervical spine stenosis in my neck.. 2 pinched nerves… this stenosis has now narrowed further into my spine,do you reccomend these for my condition.
    Thankyou in advance ��

  • Okay, so I looked for other stretches and found this. I truly love your instructions, however, I would much prefer if you worked completely through each of exercise, rather than show us the idea and going on to next. If we are to do one set of ten, do them through to the end with us. I’m sure I’m not alone in this way of thinking. I look forward to some new stretches in this manner. Tks.

  • I have strained an abdominal muscle in the past and I’m trying to strengthen the muscle. How often should I do these. And any other tips you have would be great

  • When I do planking I try to go for a minute and i do feel it working after I do it, I do multiple sets of it maybe like 3 or 5 I’m gonna try the rest of these tho ��

  • Bird Dogs: 5-10 reps each side, 3 sets Prone Back Extensions: 8-12 reps Reverse Abdominal Curls: 15-20 reps, 3 sets Leg Raises: 15-20 reps, 3 sets Dead Bugs: 10 reps each side, 3 sets This is my cheat sheet but watch the video, it has a lot of important information for the exercises!

  • Thank you so much!! I have back pain for 10 years now due to sitting at work and school. At first, when I tried these exercises, my back DOESN’T like it because I have never strengthen my back muscles. I was in pain, but slowly over 2 weeks. My back feels much better and I don’t have pain as often.

  • New to your Channel and I love it you explain very good!! And those exercises are simple and easy to do it. Thank you �� Congratulations

  • Many trainers criticize crunches or don’t even talk about it. The 1 or 2 minutes plank, with elbows on the ground and same legs position as for the push-ups, is the only exercice I do besides the use of an ab wheel. L-dips are too very good, it just takes a couple of bars or big parallettes. Also doing push-ups is an efficient way of strengthening the core muscles.

  • Hi Jared, Thanks for a lovely * slightly difficult for me ( Video. Appreciate the time you spent making a fine “CORE” video. You make it so easy. Can see years of hard exercise behind those moves and exercises. All the best. will check out your subscription and your online site for more. Cheers from Canada

  • hello. madam if i add 04 exercises to these exercises i.e side plank, simple plank on hands and feet, superman pose and cobra stretch then what is your recommendation how many times these exercises should do in one week

  • Hi Dr Jo. Have used your Videos for the last 3yrs and messaged you previously. I’m still trying to find the cause of my pain from my Left Hip/Groin which also goes to my calf. All down the left side. It happened when I was running 2yrs ago and I’ve had this year a Hip Athroscopy to repair Labral Tear, Ankle Impingement Surgery and last week Groin Surgery to repair a torn ligament..
    Yes it’s been a tough year but before this injury I was super Fit.
    Ive been told to really work on strengthening my Core after this Groin op which may help balance my centre. Still having the pain in my Lower back/Hip on left side and my Left calf is tight and pulsing…
    I did the injury while running and personally feel like something obvious is being missed. Any advice I’d appreciate and recommend some Excercises. I’ve followed your Videos through it all so would appreciate some help.
    Thanks

  • This back pain guideline has really impressed me personally. I was a bit uncertain but used it yesterday and woke up with a more relaxed back. I actually proposed this guide to my mom and dad due to the good results I discovered. They like the plan too. It could solve your back problems very effectively. Look for this guide on Google, the guide name is Mason Κonozback
    good luck

  • Thank you so much for this video!! I had lost 40 pounds over this past year, but that all came to a stop when I got into a horrible car accident. I ended up with a bulging disc between my L3 and L4, which made it impossible to do any type of ab/core exercises that didn’t cause severe pain. Every workout was becoming leg and arm day. It wasn’t helping me much in the midsection. After seeing your video and trying these exercises I feel happy and confident that I can continue on with my weight loss (I have quite a bit to go), and toning.

  • How should the elbow be when doing the hip flexor/abductor exercise? You said tucked under, but would it be extended or would I be laying on it?

  • i have extremely strong shoulder and triceps muscles but my core is a complete Joke..i suffer from lowet back pain ad a result. I will be doing these daily. thanks

  • Thanks for the video!! Should I do my core exercises before or after my daily weightlifting routine? Or at another time besides my daily weightlifting routine? Thanks in advance

  • You are getting too much external rotation on your R leg on your bird dog… just training your self into a compensation and further injury… End up with right trochanteric bursitis ITB problems R medial knee pain…

  • Thanks for the video!! Should I do my core exercises before or after my daily weightlifting routine? Or at another time besides my daily weightlifting routine? Thanks in advance

  • I guess you gave good lower back exercises but you dont know how to really do them you kinda just made a version thats way easier.

  • Hi Dr. Jo! I’m a PTA myself here and an avid exerciser. I’m good with upper/lower body but TERRIBLE incorporating core work! I’ve also lost 30 pounds over the last 6 months, so I have some loose skin/fat/very weak musculature around my core. My core has always been a problem. How often would you say to incorporate exercises like this? I am currently lifting weights/doing resistance for upper body 2-3 times a week as well as lower body 2x a week. And cardio about 4-5x a week. I feel so overwhelmed trying to fit everything in but I know I have to start including this as I’ve had so many injuries and am still suffering from compensation injuries. Any advice? Thank you SO much!!!

  • Thank you so much for this. In just a week I feel so much better (sciatica), instruction really clear. Do you have a video to purchase or book? Thanks, from Manchester, UK

  • Hello, my name is My Singh. Am suffering with lowback and neck pain since long time. In April-2016 i have taken low back MRI scan. There was problem in L4-L5 & L5-S1. There was diffuse disc bulge. Further in pelvis there was minimal fluid in bilateral hip joint. if possible please give mail id so that i can mail the MRI report. So my question is can i do this exercise. I want to do this exercise because I want to raid two wheeler to go to office. please help me in this regard. Thank you.

  • Thanks. I had difficulty finding your workout this morning. I found you by accident yesterday after viewing a series which were too long and or too strenuous, but your 5 core are excellent.

  • Hi, this is a great video. I have degenerative disc disease and I went to rehab for 10 sessions but it’s too expensive. This is really good for my core, although the windshield one, I can only do to the right because it pains me when I twist to the left. Are there any exercises you can recommend for someone who has degenerative disc disease? Thank you!

  • Excellent video! I’m a proponent of bodyweight exercises and walking. The more we move our bodies, the healthier we are. Average walking speed studies show that an older person’s pace, along with their age and gender, can predict their life expectancy just as well as the complex battery of other health indicators such as blood pressure, body mass index, chronic conditions, and smoking history. Walk on, Frank

  • I’ve done one day of this exercise and, although I found some of the advanced exercises to be difficult, I’m not feeling anything afterwards. Am I supposed to be feeling some pain/strain in my abdominal muscles, back and glutes or have I perhaps done these exercises incorrrectly?

  • Hello, do you have any suggestion for herniated disc l5-s1, i’ve been taken MRI Test and have a herniated disc l5-s1, i wouldnt say it a “herniated” more like bulging disc and only 5mm of herniation, no tear in the disc, more like dislocation a bit, gone to chiropractor taken another XRAY and i also have a mild scoliosis around T area, he said that because of that, my pelvis shift a bit on the right side and make it higher than left side, can you show me some exercise to make it faster on healing the disc to normal position?

  • thanks for this, Jared. any thoughts as to why pulling in my abs during a regular plank causes nausea? i don’t think it’s related to eating or not eating before, i’m careful to eat well long enough in advance that i’m not still digesting it when i work out. thanks in advance.

  • Do you have any suggestions for a 6’4″ tall guy for doing side planks? That distance is difficult to stay up in that position as the stress on the shoulder becomes intense. Thanks

  • Great video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you tried Chireetler Exclusive Workouts Rule (should be on google have a look)?

Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my best friend Jordan finally got astronomical success with it.

  • I really appreciate the straightforward style of presentation, I’m going to do these regularly and see how I get on. Could you recommend an app that helps keep track of how many reps of each exercise I’m doing?

  • You are getting too much external rotation on your R leg on your bird dog… just training your self into a compensation and further injury… End up with right trochanteric bursitis ITB problems R medial knee pain…

  • Hi, I have really tight hip flexors which I’m trying to release and lengthen. I also have a weak core and like to strengthen too. Question is for #4, would these shorten/tighten hip flexors? Thanks

I want to get rid of belly fat but having a difficult time with that. Do you have more exercises just for belly fat? Thank you.

  • are these exercises recommended for someone who has regular back pain? Not necessarily using the exercises to provide relief once pain has begun (I find stretching and touching my toes better for that) but instead, doing them daily or 5x per week at least consistently, with the goal of providing long-term relief via a stronger overall core? any other videos you would recommend for this purpose or is this one pretty good to start out? thank you!

  • Should my back be sore after this? Haven’t done them in a while and did them the other day back was stiff the next day did them that night and the next day I feel very sore in my lower back

  • Appreciate Video! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried Chireetler Exclusive Workouts Rule (probably on Google)?

  • Can you also do some of these with the exercise ball, and exercises like dead bug and supermans every day? I’ve had some lower back/glute problems for about 5 months, and been trying different treatments and lately a chiro, who told me to do ball exercises almost twice a day here in the beginning of her also treating me. But I’m unsure.

  • i want to know if there is a possibility of eliminating the pain completely if i do these exercises regularly or if it will be just a temporary solution. i just finished a 3 week therapy schedule and thought i was good until i went back to wrestling and it starting hurting a lot again so im just researching cause i really dont want to stop doing sports but at the same time i dont want to fuck up my back more

  • Hi Coach, thanks for these 5 core exercises. I have a quick question. I had a disc joint degeneration along my cervical spine at C5,C6 a month ago. My doctor has advised to stay off all exercises but if I still want to work and strengthen my core, will these 5 exercises work without straining the neck?

  • Hello, do you have any suggestion for herniated disc l5-s1, i’ve been taken MRI Test and have a herniated disc l5-s1, i wouldnt say it a “herniated” more like bulging disc and only 5mm of herniation, no tear in the disc, more like dislocation a bit, gone to chiropractor taken another XRAY and i also have a mild scoliosis around T area, he said that because of that, my pelvis shift a bit on the right side and make it higher than left side, can you show me some exercise to make it faster on healing the disc to normal position?

  • I can’t do reverse curls or leg raises without my lower back coming off the floor. Hell, just lying on the floor, I can put my fist between my lower back and the floor

  • Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought since Rectus Abdominis was actually one muscle, there was no distinction between “lower abs” and “upper abs”. They both perform the same action so

  • Hi, I have really tight hip flexors which I’m trying to release and lengthen. I also have a weak core and like to strengthen too. Question is for #4, would these shorten/tighten hip flexors? Thanks

  • What? U don’t want to waist our time, and charge $40with a 20 min vid to describe the results and testimonials first?�� excellent, just demo and explanations-have subscribed and saved-will contribute; with extreme lower back pain and no patience, great video!

  • I have osteoporosis in my spine, scoliosis, and bulging discs. I am wary of any twisting exercises that have the shoulders and hips in a different plane.

  • Thanks. I had difficulty finding your workout this morning. I found you by accident yesterday after viewing a series which were too long and or too strenuous, but your 5 core are excellent.

  • A neutral spine should be maintained in any exercise, or movement. A flat lumbar spine is, in effect, flexion…..repeated flexion of the lumbar spine, under load, is bound to cause problems in the lumbo/sacral area.

  • Hey Jared, I was told my doctor that i have a really weak core, and that I need to strengthen in the inner core muscles. Unfortunately the ones instructed are tough to understand. For eg, I was asked to stand against the wall on my back, then place my hands on my bellybutton and the middle of my chest. Then I have to move my pelvic region up and down! I just couldn’t do it. Can you explain this exercise or any other which can strengthen the inner core muscles?

  • Hello my friend, great video, My story is that, I were always active person, I use to do break dance, I did kick boxing and box savatte, play a lot of football (soccer)… it was everything great back in the days, until I had motorcycle accident in November of 2017 and after that my lower back problems started, once or twice the pain was so strong that I was injected with voltaren injections and took some pils for muscules, to make them relax… I use to walk a lot, going off road adventures in mountains and so on, but now if I walk a lot or exersise more than I can take with the given situation, wich is much worst than it used to be pre accident period of my life, the lower back problem is knocking my door and it is really anoying with strong pain often. So do you recomend these exersices here? it will help my condition?
    Oh forgot to mention that I’m doing also an office work, that means that I’m siting in a office chair alot….
    waiting for your advice and thanx in advance!

  • Hi, this is a great video. I have degenerative disc disease and I went to rehab for 10 sessions but it’s too expensive. This is really good for my core, although the windshield one, I can only do to the right because it pains me when I twist to the left. Are there any exercises you can recommend for someone who has degenerative disc disease? Thank you!

  • i want to know if there is a possibility of eliminating the pain completely if i do these exercises regularly or if it will be just a temporary solution. i just finished a 3 week therapy schedule and thought i was good until i went back to wrestling and it starting hurting a lot again so im just researching cause i really dont want to stop doing sports but at the same time i dont want to fuck up my back more

  • Thank you, Dr. Jared! Love your videos, and am using this one to help me recover from a relapsed back issue. It’s good to know that I can do these moves and trust that they’re the right thing to do.

  • Great video. I shattered my vertebrae years back and I had to incorporate these exercises in rehab and still do now 20 years later.

  • As someone who has a bulging disc/arthritis in my lower back, it is very hard to get any type of solid definition from any workouts as anything strenuous or challenging makes it difficult to make significant progress. I am in pretty good shape generally speaking when it comes to the rest of my body, but find ab workouts nerve racking due to fear of injury. Is it possible to get defined abs (six pack) from high repetition/low impact exercises such as this? If so, are there any risks to maintaining a workout like this? Please let me know

  • Your awesome. Thank you for making this video. I’ve suffered from back pain for so long after having two kids.I will start doing this exercise. Again thank you and I have subscribed to your channel. Good job ��

  • Hey Dr. Nicholas, great video I will try this. I injured myself from “Free Skating” it’s a new thing, looks like skateboard and inline skates together. Questions: I thought that Free skating will be good for my core, legs and ballance etc. but somehow my old lower back injury from almost 20 years ago comes back. I wonder if it’s the free skates or me not stretching enought. Thanks!

  • I have back pain and this relieves me but my back immediately goes back to stiff and hurts again and my back pain is in my lower back but I cant put a finger were my pain is it’s in a general area and the pain switches sides and sometimes in both sides of my back have pain

  • Thank you for this video. This is the BEST core video for people like me with no knowledge. These exercises look effective and gentle enough for anyone.

    Thanks!

  • Thanks so much!! Core exercises are new to me I always ignored my core and did everything else. How many times a week should i do these excercises?

  • Please don’t think you not gonna be hurting after doing these exercises. It’ll just take your mind off what’s really bothering you but. You’ll never in life be pain free. We’re all in this together

Ive heard some super things about it and my cooworker at very last got amazing results with it.

  • Thanks man, i suffer a lot with lower back pain, your exercises are a real help to relieve back pain thanks a million

  • People do not undersand how important core workouts are, you look much better over time even if you have belly with strong core it will mostly be flat and your chest will stick above your mid body, these workouts make men look much more in shape but the problem is everybody is neglecting them

  • Love your work. Do you have a less difficult exercise I can use to work up to the side plank. I am only able to do 2 or 3 for only 20 seconds?

  • Do you have any modifications for the kneeling moves? Both of my knees are replaced which makes kneeling very painful. I’ve tried using small cushions underneath my knees, but that is also extremely painful plus it messes up my balance and my form. Or, do I just skip those moves and just do the other four ones?

  • I guess you gave good lower back exercises but you dont know how to really do them you kinda just made a version thats way easier.

  • It’s a joke man, the guy joking said the exercise will put hair on your chest and my response was ” I already have too much on mine.”. Lighten up.
