Rather than concentrating on the abdominals as most people do, fitness experts now suggest to exercise the core. Most people concentrate on the abs and ignore the back muscles. This is to be corrected by an exercise program that will strengthen the core muscles. In general, the muscles of the core run the length of the trunk and torso; and when they contract they stabilize the spine, pelvis and shoulder girdle and create a solid base of support.
Here is a simple band exercise that will help your core:
~Stand on your left leg and bend your knee slightly.
~Hold the exercise band with your right hand so that your elbow is fully extended.
~With a quick but controlled motion pull the band toward you and down and across your body in a throwing motion.
~Repeat the movement 15 – 20 times and switch sides.
~Perform 2 sets on each leg.
