Physical therapist shares his top three core exercises to increase core strength, improve spine stability, and decrease lower back and hip pain. These exercises will not only strengthen your core, but can help with lower back pain relief as well. These are so much more than ab exercises because your core is so much more than your abs!

If I had to narrow “core strengthening” down to only three exercises, these are the ones that I would pick!
The Only Core Exercises You Need For Strength And Stability:
Ready to improve your core strength and stability? Look no further! In this video, we're diving into the essential core exercises that will help you build a rock-solid foundation, improve posture, and enhance overall performance.
🤔 What Is The Core?
Before diving into the exercises, it's essential to understand what we mean by "the core." Contrary to popular belief, the core is more than just your abs! It encompasses a group of muscles including the rectus abdominis, obliques, transverse abdominis, and muscles of the lower back, pelvis, and hips. Together, these muscles provide stability and support for your spine and pelvis, facilitating proper movement and reducing the risk of injury.
When it comes to building a strong core and strengthening these different areas, I like to compare it to building a house. We want four strong walls built on a solid foundation. Therefore I want one exercise to work the front (anterior core), one exercise for the two sides (lateral strength), and one exercise for the back (posterior core).
Why Is Core Strength Important?
Core strength is the foundation of nearly every movement we make, from bending and lifting to walking and running. A strong core not only enhances athletic performance but also promotes better posture, balance, and stability in everyday activities. From a rehab perspective, a strong core can help alleviate lower back pain, improve spinal alignment, and reduce the risk of injury during physical activity.
