Simple Exercises For a Stronger Core
A stronger core will make your daily tasks easier and improve stability and balance, reducing the risk of falls.
Moreover, a stronger core promotes better posture and movement patterns, relieving strain on your spine and alleviating pain and discomfort.
Now I don’t focus on core exercises too often because a lot of the exercises we do indirectly engages the core.
However, it's still beneficial to add some additional core exercises to improve core strength.
Which is precisely what we'll be doing today!
In today’s video we will be focusing on strengthening your core (and glutes) while seated in a chair.
This video goes for 10 minutes, which means in just 10 minutes, you'll get a great little core strengthening workout. And in the video, I have modified some common core exercises typically done on the floor.

Do you have trouble with standing exercises to strengthen your legs? If so, this exercise video is for you.
Following on from the last leg strengthening exercise video I did, I wanted to do a leg strengthening video this time for those who have trouble doing leg exercises in standing.
In a seated position it does make it more difficult to target all the muscles with fewer exercises, however, it CAN be done.
Never be disheartened if you are struggling with any of the exercises. It does not mean you are not capable, this is never the case.
If just means you may have to take a step back, find what works for you and then gradually build on what you are doing!
There are so many ways to go about achieving what it is you want through exercise. So never give up, ask questions and eventually, you'll find what works and make big improvements! Keep at it!
In this video, we go through a completely seated and simple leg exercise routine.
