I found an article describing how to do core exercises from a standing position.
Main point: “By adding weight to functional standing movements like a side bend, you can engage these abs muscles and work to strengthen them without having to get on the floor.”
The writer recommended these exercises:
- Standing toe reach: 10-12 repetitions
- Standing criss-cross crunches: 10-12 repetitions
- Woodchop: 10-12 repetitions
- Side bends with dumbbell: 10-12 repetitions
- Cherry pickers: 10-12 repetitions
Now imagine having #NordicWalking poles.
- You can use the poles for balance as you do the exercises.
- One advantage of incorporating the poles is the ability to reduce the support as you get better at the exercises.
- Another advantage is being able to do exercises like these during one of your #NordicWalking excursions and turning your excursion into a circuit.
