Traditional planks are tough for many people. If they are for you, try modified.
-Lie face down on the floor or an exercise mat.
-Prop yourself up on your elbows and your knees.
-Keep your body straight from the crown of your head through your torso to your knees.
-Hold this position for 10 to 20 seconds.
-Repeat three to five times.
The Russian twist is a seated exercise that also strengthens your core muscles, which help you maintain good posture.
-Sit comfortably in an armless chair or on a bench. Lean back slightly, engaging your abdominal muscles.
-Bend your elbows and hold your hands together in front of your body. Inhale.
-As you exhale, move your hands in a controlled manner to your right hip, then to your left.
-Begin with five repetitions on each side and increase to 10 then 12.
* Like any exercise program, please consult your healthcare professional before you begin. Please stop immediately if any of the exercises cause pain or harm to your body.
