Strengthen your entire core and enhance balance by switching out traditional crunches for these six alternative exercises.
Britany Williams, a renowned trainer on the Sweat app, has released a new six-move session designed to provide a comprehensive core workout. This workout targets all aspects of the core, not just the rectus abdominis, making it a valuable addition to any fitness routine.
The workout includes exercises that focus on the transverse abdominis, a muscle responsible for spinal support. Examples of such exercises are plank variations and overhead dumbbell marches. If weights are not available at home, filled water bottles can be used as an alternative.
Rotational movements in Williams' routine target the internal and external obliques, ensuring a well-rounded core workout. The session also includes exercises that require holding the trunk steady against the weight of the body or a heavy dumbbell.
Each exercise in the sequence should be performed as a circuit, with 12 repetitions of each. If a movement is one-sided, 8 repetitions should be performed on each side. The sequence should be run through two times in total, or three for an extra challenge.
The Sweat app, which previously had a different pricing structure, now costs $9.99/month. The app features workout programs from trainers like Kayla Itsines, Kelsey Wells, and Britany Williams, making it a versatile tool for those seeking a variety of fitness routines.
In a special offer, users who sign up before December 5th can enjoy a 50% discount on the monthly Sweat app membership. For those looking to add weights to their home workout set-up, our guide to the best adjustable dumbbells can be consulted.
