Hi, I'm Kusha Karvandi, founder of Exerscribe, and today I'm going to show you weight training poses for the core muscles. The first exercise is a plank. So start by having your forearms shoulder width apart and coming up onto your toes. You want to keep the chin down, keep the spine neutral and you want to hold it for about 30 seconds to start. Make sure that your toes are under your heels and keep the hips high. Try doing two to three sets of 30 seconds each and try to work your way up to a minute. The next one is a reverse plank. So you'll come onto your back, onto those forearms and you're going to come up onto the forearms and then to the heels and lift up the glutes, lift up the core and you want to look up towards the ceiling to keep the spine straight, hold that for 30 seconds. Again, try to work your way up to a minute two to three times. The last one is the V sit. So you're going to sit with the knees slightly bent and you're going to raise the legs off the ground keeping the arms straight, the upper body should be leaned back to about a 45 degree angle and you just want to hold this position. Again, try to hold this one for 30 seconds, working your way up to a minute, two to three sets. Again, I'm Kusha Karvandi, founder of Exerscribe, and today I just showed you weight training poses for the core muscles.
