You likely know that maintaining a strong core is important for your overall health and fitness. But finding the time—and resources—to build that necessary strength can be, well, challenging, especially if you’re constantly on the go or don’t have access to a gym.
And no, core workouts aren’t about a six-pack. A strong core can improve your posture, balance, and stability. It can also prevent back pain and injuries, keeping you running, climbing, and cycling as much as you please.
Best of all, you don’t need heavy weights or fancy equipment to achieve these goals—just your own bodyweight. Plus, no-equipment core workouts can be tailored to fit your needs and fitness goals. Each of these exercises has a modification option, in addition to the full version of the movement. Regardless of which option you practice, each exercise will help you work all aspects of your core—including your obliques and erector spinae.
