A toned waistline isn\u2019t the only reason to work on building core strength. A strong core can also improve <\/span>back posture <\/span>and health. Let\u2019s breakdown the intimate relationship between the core and back, and get familiar with some methods to improve posture by building core strength. But before you drop and give me 50, there are alternative methods to building core strength other than grueling sit-ups. First thing\u2019s first: How does the core relate to the back?<\/span><\/p>\nThe Core is the Body\u2019s Anchor<\/b><\/p>\nIf you think about your core as the anchor to your body\u2019s weight, then you realize that everything, (your back, spine, neck, head) relies on its strength. This is why spinal alignment is vital to back health. Because the abs sit in front of the spine, strengthening them can help alleviate other muscles from over exerting themselves to support the spine. By strengthening the core muscles, the spine relies less on support from the back muscles. While a plus of core exercises is a toned tummy, there\u2019s also the added bonus of improved <\/span>back posture<\/span>. Win-win!<\/span><\/p>\nCore Exercises for Back Health<\/b><\/p>\nNow that we know the importance of a strong core, how do we strengthen it? You don\u2019t need to spend hours at the gym doing crunches, in fact, daily stretching can help strengthen the core and improve back health. For a strong core, <\/span>exercises should target the major abdominal muscles, including the transverse abdominals and obliques.<\/span> Let\u2019s crunch down some effective ways to tone the tummy and improve back health. <\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style="\"font-weight:" 400;\"="">Daily stretching:<\/b> That\u2019s right. Stretching can do wonders for abdominal strength and back health. Take it a step further by incorporating <\/span><a href="https://uprightpose.demo.assis.care/api/mirror?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uprightpose.com%2F%26amp%3Bquot%3Bhttps%3A%2F%2F%2F%2Fwww.uprightpose.com%2F%2Fblog%2F%2F5-yoga-poses-back-strengthening-better-posture%2F%2F%2F%26amp%3Bquot%3B">yoga<\/a><\/strong> or pilates. Try updog or triangle pose for core strengthening and a great back stretch.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style="\"font-weight:" 400;\"="">Plank and side plank:<\/b> These poses are a great way to stabilize the core and build strength, even spending 30 seconds twice a day planking can improve core strength. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style="\"font-weight:" 400;\"="">Push-Ups:<\/b> Wait, what? Did you think push-ups were only for building strong biceps? Think again. Similar to plank pose, push-ups require immense core strength to alleviate pressure from the lower back. Try implementing 10 push-ups a day, start on your knees if you have to. Over time, you\u2019ll not only noticed toned arms, but a toned tummy and healthier back as well. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nThere you have it! Core strengthening is a great way to build muscle definition and improve back health. Exercising alone can help to improve daily well being, but sometimes the rigors of our day-to-day obligations weigh us down.
