I have been meaning to start off a series of articles on the best exercises for each bodypart and a bit of a write up on each muscle group but I just found a great page with little animations of 70 core exercises
70 Core Exercises with descriptions
As you are probably aware the core of your body, your midsection has a lot of muscles. You use core muscles for bending over, getting up, standing, walking leaning to either side. an a host of other ways as well.
I have hurt my back a couple of times including once really badly earlier this year, (and a better way to warmup) and I am sure you know as well how hard it is to suffer along with a bad back or sides or abs.
So check out the exercises. They may help a bit with loss, they will definitley help your posture and how large you look and these exercises are critical for getting you in better physical condition
That’s a great little resource with all of those exercise animated gifs. I’ll definitely be sending a few people there.
You’re spot on about core training too. I have a friend with TERRIBLE core strength who has problems with their back as a result. That then turns into problems with their elbows according to their osteopath!! Then when they stick to a workout and cardio plan, all of the problems miraculously go away!
