Struggling with stubborn back and stomach fat? Trainers recommend these six effective exercises that combine strength and stability to tone your core and back while improving posture and balance.
Swan Prep: A Pilates staple, this movement strengthens your lower back and improves core control. Lie on your stomach, lift your chest gently, and engage your abs.
Bird Dog: Great for core stability and back strength. On all fours, extend one arm and the opposite leg, then alternate.
Plank Rows: Target your upper back and core. Assume a plank position and row a dumbbell to your side while maintaining balance.
Superman Holds: Lie face down, lift your arms and legs simultaneously, and hold for a few seconds to strengthen your lower back.
Russian Twists: Sit with knees bent, lean back slightly, and twist your torso side-to-side while holding a weight.
Reverse Crunches: Engage your lower abs by lifting your legs and hips off the ground in a controlled motion.
