I had an interesting dicussion last week with some co-workers. We were trying to figure out why people still think they can just do some crunches and get rid of their flabby tummy. I'm only going to say this once: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SPOT REDUCTION!
We then discussed the only exercises you REALLY need to do to be perfectly fit...they are as follows:
- Push ups
- Pull ups
- Squats
- Lunges
- Plank
- Rows
- Dips
(and cardio)
And if you really think about it...every other exercise out there is a variation of the above, add a ball, a BOSU or a step and that's how we stay in business! We change it up and create new exercises to keep it fun and exciting, and obviously if you are training for something specific we would find a bunch of different ways to target the muscles of the arms or glutes, or whatever the case may be.
As always, if you want to improve your core strength, start with posture...shoulders down and back, chest out, stand up tall, ENGAGE YOUR CORE!!!! (everyone has one).
