DON’T BE AFRAID TO PUT YOUR NEEDS FIRST. SCHEDULE YOUR JOY!
Core exercises work the inner and outer muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen – front, back and sides, in other words. With a strong and stable core comes good posture, flexibility, ease of movement and improved balance and coordination, all of which are essential for positive ageing. It also guards against back pain and injury and keeps you nicely toned. TIP There are a gazillion ways to strengthen your core, from sit-ups to chair dips, lunges to planks, gentle yoga and more. Stand tall, shoulders back, tummy in and you’re on your way.
