4 Yoga Poses for Core Strength

If the usual sit ups and crunches bore you, yoga is a great alternative for core strength,  good balance, stability, and posture. Read our top four yoga poses specifically for core strength. 


 Plank Pose- Plank is a total body toning pose that we have a love-hate relationship with. Make sure to keep your body in a straight line and keep your palms on the floor directly below your shoulders.

Side Plank Pose- This pose is an arm balance and a core strengthening pose. Shift to your right or left side from plank pose. Place your right or left arm to the sky and press your weight to the opposite hand. Gaze at your top hand, hold for half a minute, and engage your core and thighs.

Boat Pose- This pose will strengthen your abs. Balance on your sit bones and extend your legs straight in front of you creating a V shape with your body. Extend your arms forward with your palms facing towards each other.

 
Chair pose- This pose strengthens your entire body including your core. Stand with your feet parallel and bend your knees. Make sure you bring your thighs parallel to the floor, keep your back long, and arms extended. Put the majority of your weight into your heels and lift your toes up.
