Looking for a new workout routine?

It can be hard to get in a workout with a busy schedule, but here are some quick and easy exercises to do from anywhere!

Reverse Crunch

The first exercise is called a reverse crunch. Start this exercise on your back. Then, put your legs in the air with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Move your legs down with your feet touching the ground then move them back to the starting position. This exercise focuses completely on the core while giving relief to the neck and back.

Glute Bridge

Next, the following exercise is called a glute bridge. You will also stay on your back but bring your feet in front of your glutes. Then you will push your hips into the air and bring them back down to the ground. This helps with stabilizing your core while also strengthening your glutes to support those growing abs.

Russian Twist

Third, this exercise is called a Russian Twist. You sit on your bottom while staying upright and putting your feet above the ground a few inches. Then, lace your fingers together from both hands and rotate them left and right beside your body while touching the ground each time. Not only does this exercise target strengthening your core, but your spine and obliques.

Plank

Another exercise that may be familiar to most is plank. You will start by laying face down. Then, flex your feet and stabilize on the points of your toes while keeping the front of yourself up with your elbows. Planks are a versatile exercise that stabilizes the front of your body and the back. Your posture improves along with building those abs!

Hip Dips

The final exercise is hip dips. You will do the same preparation as a plank but add an element to it. The element is dipping your hips to the ground and rotating to the right and left. Like the other exercises, this helps strengthen your core and back, but hip dips additionally improve your waist and balance.

“Consistency in any form of exercise is important to ensure that adaptions are made. Progressive overload drives physical performance forward,” said Auburn University Women’s Soccer Sports Performance Coach Matt Smith.
