Building a strong core is essential not only for physical appearance but also for overall body functionality. In this quick and effective 10-minute workout, we'll guide you through a series of exercises that target your core, focusing on the right techniques and breathing patterns.

Lie flat on your back, knees bent, and feet firmly pressed into the ground. Ensure your entire back, from the sacrum to your upper part, is in contact with the floor.

Start by inhaling through the nose as you circle your arms over your head and then exhale through the mouth while contracting your abdomen. This contraction draws your belly button toward the spine, focusing on proper core activation.

Straighten your right leg, raising it toward the sky; lift your chest simultaneously. Inhale to lower the leg and arm, and then exhale to raise them back, repeating this pattern. Count down from ten for this engaging movement, maintaining control with each repetition.

With hands supporting the back of your head, perform pulses by slightly lifting your chest up and down. This variation adds intensity to your core workout, prepping you for transitions.

After these initial exercises, switch to the left leg, following the same pattern of breathing and movement. End this segment by stretching your body before turning onto your belly for an essential stretch to relax the body.

Roll onto your back and prepare for a crunch routine. Extend your legs straight up, alternating between bending knees and extending them. Follow this with bridge poses by inclining your hips up, coordinating with your arm positions and inhalations to optimize benefit.

Focus on engaging your hip flexors, using our specialized exercises. By alternating leg pressures and maintaining consistent rhythmic pulses, strengthen these critical muscles effectively.

For a compelling finish, extend both legs upwards again and lower them toward each side, engaging your obliques and maintaining the opposite shoulder on the ground. Adjust movements by bending the knees if needed to maintain proper form and prevent injury.

Conclude your routine with relaxing stretches. Bring your right leg to your chest while keeping the left leg extended and engage in a spinal twist. Breathe deeply to release any tension before repeating the process switching sides. Finally, roll onto your side to sit up and end by stretching to each side.

Thank you for taking this time to strengthen your core. Namaste.
