5 Core Exercises for a Strong Core

1. Knee Raises (Beginner)

Muscles Targeted: Lower Abs. Knee raises are an excellent starting point for beginners. Hang from the pull up bar with an overhand grip, keeping your arms and legs straight. Slowly raise your knees towards your chest, then lower them back down with control. For added stability, consider using Wrist Wraps to support your wrists.

2. Side to Side Knee Ups (Intermediate)

Muscles Targeted: Obliques, Lower Abs. This intermediate exercise adds a twist to the standard knee raises. Hang from the bar and lift your knees towards your right elbow, then lower them and repeat on the left side. This exercise effectively targets the obliques and helps in sculpting your waistline.

3. Leg Raises (Intermediate)

Muscles Targeted: Entire Core. Leg raises are a more challenging variation that engages the entire core. Hang from the bar, keep your legs straight, and lift them until they form a 90-degree angle with your torso. Lower them back down slowly. Using Chalk can improve your grip and prevent slipping.

4. Flutter Kicks (Intermediate)

Muscles Targeted: Lower Abs, Hip Flexors. Flutter kicks are excellent for engaging the lower abs and hip flexors. Hang from the bar and lift your legs to a 45-degree angle. Perform quick, scissor-like kicks by alternately raising and lowering each leg. For an added challenge, try wearing a Weight Vest to increase resistance.

5. Front Lever (Advanced)

Muscles Targeted: Core, Back. The front lever is a demanding exercise that requires significant strength and control. Hang from the bar and engage your core to lift your body into a horizontal position, parallel to the ground. Hold this position as long as possible. Incorporate Resistance Bands for assistance as you build the necessary strength.
