3 exercises you want to keep in your routine

Instead of constantly re-inventing the wheel, or doing exercises purely for the instagram popularity of it, stick with tried and tested exercises that are highly effective and have great carry over to the rest of your routine. Here’s 3 exercises you should be doing in order to get the most out of your body and have it performing to it’s best.

  1. Front Leaning Rest Position (FLR)
    The Front Leaning Rest position (FLR or high plank), is another plank variation that will massively benefit your core, shoulders and arms. Make sure you have a slight lean forward to place your shoulders over your hands, squeezing your glutes and thighs. This plank will develop true core strength over time.
  2. Bear Crawls
    Bear crawls strengthen and increase endurance in your arms, shoulders and chest, plus they also improve your total core function and stability. Feel daft doing these? Then do them at home, but trust in the exercise for how advantageous they are.
  3. Prone Cobra
    The floor cobra is one of the best exercises to strengthen the muscles between the shoulder blades and lower back. Other benefits of the prone cobra are
  • Less Back Pain
  • Improved Posture
  • Better Athletic Performance
  • Improved Balance
