Adah Sharma shares ‘kaddu core workout’ to fix posture: ‘Do this for 31 days; 20 reps’

But are they even effective?

Such simple exercises emphasise core stability and posture through controlled, focused movements, said consultant dietitian and fitness expert Garima Goyal. “These exercises address some of the most common problems people face — slumping shoulders, weak mid-section and shoulder discomfort. A strong core isn’t just about visible abs; it supports the spine, enhances balance and allows the body to perform everyday tasks with efficiency and less risk of strain,” said Goyal.

Stressing that doing these exercises daily helps with better alignment, Goyal said: “These movements engage the deep abdominal muscles (transverse abdominis), the obliques and the stabilisers around the pelvis and lumbar spine. When done consistently, the body learns to maintain better alignment—standing taller, moving smoothly and compensating less during activity.”

According to Goyal, the benefits of such a posture-centric routine are amplified when paired with supporting habits: sufficient protein for muscle repair, adequate hydration for joint health, and whole-food nutrients to reduce inflammation and support recovery.

At the same time, it’s important to approach the workout with realism. “Posture correction and core strengthening are gradual processes; it takes consistent effort, time and mindful execution rather than high repetition. Similarly, improving posture is as much about habits outside the gym—sitting ergonomics, daily movement breaks and mindful breathing—as it is about the workout itself.”
