When working your abdominal muscles, you’ve probably heard about planks, sit-ups, and crunches, but what about trying the leaning camel if you’re looking to mix up your ab routine? This unusual-sounding exercise mimics a camel's move as it stands up, but the human equivalent is an excellent way to strengthen your core. Read on to find out what happened when I added the leaning camel exercise to my routine every day for a week.
As a reminder, what works for me might not be right for you and your body. If you’re new to exercise, or you’re returning to exercise following an injury or pregnancy, it’s a good idea to check your form with a personal trainer before attempting something new. On a normal week, I wouldn’t train my abdominal muscles every single day — your muscles need time to recover and repair in order to grow.
