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.
