While a change in diet can surely help your cause, there’s nothing like a good workout to really give you those enviably toned muscles. Celebrity trainer Namrata Purohit, recently, shared a workout video on her Instagram page, which shows the Pilates expert using a stability ball to strengthen her core.
It is the secret ingredient in your workout that can help to develop core muscles, protect joints and give optimum muscle building benefits. Watch the video here.
Stability Ball Jackknife
The first move that Purohit undertakes is the Jackknife, where she gets into a high Plank position and bends her knees.
Benefits: This exercise aids in crunching the abs and strengthening the hip flexors.
Hamstring curl
Next, she practises a hamstring curl, in which she lies on the floor and stretches her glutes. Holding the ball stable all the while makes the exertion more challenging.
Benefits: Works on the hamstrings and glutes while also strengthening the core.
Stability Ball V-Pass
Lying flat on her back, she attempts a V-pass, in which she bends her abs to assume a V-position with her arms and legs.
Benefits: This works the core and engages the inner thighs and arms as well.
These basic moves can be undertaken to work on that strong core.
