Doing core exercises at home is synonymous with achieving a flat stomach and defined abs, but that’s not what they are really about. For some, a bit more shape may be a welcome outcome, but having a stronger core goes well beyond that.
For the past fortnight, I’ve spent five minutes every day on my yoga mat attempting to do core exercises at home. This has seen me on my back, knees and elbows engaged in core exercises seemingly straight out of Planet Earth (dead bugs and bear crawls, anyone?). It's not like I have completely neglected my abdomen over the years – regular swims and yoga sessions go some way to improving my core strength – but I felt that it wasn’t enough. Would a daily core challenge produce better results, faster?
