Simple Equipment to Work Your Core at Home

It can be expensive to have a gym membership and given the fact that you may not use it as much as you should to warrant the expense is a consideration. Home gyms are wonderful if you have the space for a few key pieces. But if you don,t have no fear, there are plenty of items that you can use to get that core in shape and feel great too!

A solid core leads to overall strength. Your core is considered to be the belly, mid back and lower back areas and can also include your hips, shoulders and neck area too. A solid core helps to support your whole body. It is made of muscle fibers and by improving the muscles in your core you will be able to support your body better – walking upright instead of a bit slouched; have an easier time getting in and out of a chair and so on.

It takes a few simple exercises that you can do at home to improve your core. And with that comes simple equipment you can use at home too. Want to improve your core?
