A strong core is an important thing to have. It can improve your posture, reduce back pain, and improve your performance during sports and exercises. However, when exercising, most people tend to neglect their core. Below are a few exercises to help you focus on your core strength.

1. The Plank

This exercise engages all your core muscles. Lie down facing the floor. Lift your whole body off the floor so that you are supported by your forearms and toes. Keeping your body in a straight line, pull your belly button in and maintain this position for approximately 30 seconds.
