Bhagyashree shares 3 exercises to engage the core, and a ground rule to follow: ‘Reducing your stomach flab…'
Bhagyashree's social media feed is proof of her dedication to health and fitness. A self-proclaimed nutritionist, her Instagram is a treasure trove of tips and insights on wellness.
Recently, the actor shared three exercises to strengthen the core in a reel. In the caption, she wrote, 'Reducing your stomach flab will happen with the correct nutrition at the correct time. However, strengthening of the core muscles can be achieved by these simple exercises. These can be done at any age without the fear of getting hurt.'
'Just maintain one simple rule: ground your entire back to the floor, so you have to engage your core muscles for the slightest movement. (Special good for elders) These will also enhance hip mobility and flexibility. Do not worry if you cannot achieve a 90° stance… hold for at least 30 to 45 seconds at the furthest you can. Gradually, your muscles will open up and strengthen as well,' she added.
A post shared by Bhagyashree (@
spoke to a fitness expert and discovered the benefits of adding these exercises to your fitness routine.
Pawan Behal, fitness consultant at Shahkot Punjab, told us that these exercises benefit us in the following ways:
Reducing stress on the spine: Strong muscles provide better support, decreasing the load on your spine.
Improving posture: Correcting postural imbalances helps distribute weight evenly across your body, preventing strain on specific areas.
Enhancing core stability: A strong core provides a solid foundation for your spine, reducing the risk of injury.
Increasing flexibility: Flexible muscles allow for greater freedom of movement and less tension in your back.
Anamika Lalwani, Founder of Lit Fit Dance & Fitness Studio, added that the core is the powerhouse of the body, and maintaining its strength is crucial for overall health and functionality. 'It is the foundation of all movement. From sitting and standing to bending and lifting, a strong core supports your body in everything. It's not just about achieving defined abs; it's about stability, balance, and spine protection. Core strength helps prevent injuries, improves posture, and enhances performance in workouts and everyday activities,' she explained.
Bhagyashree also revealed that doing crunches in the gym can have an added worry of straining the back and hurting the cervical. Thus, it becomes imperative to lie flat on the ground or the yoga mat, ensuring that the back touches the flat surface at all times while doing these exercises.
