1 Beginner and advanced exercises for the abdominal and lower back muscles Professionally managed by: Mission: The National Institute for Fitness and Sport is committed to enhancing human health, physical fitness and athletic performance through research, education and service.

2 Introduction to Core Conditioning Booklet Core Anatomy This guide was developed to assist you with core exercise technique and variety. Important Tips: Slow and controlled motion Exhale on the exertion Keep a fist distance between your chin and your chest. Concentrate on contracting your abdominal or back muscles, and not your arms and shoulders. Elbows should be out of your line of sight. Practice balance. Exercise all core muscles abdominals and low back. For specific recommendations on how many repetitions, sets, and frequency of exercises, please ask an LFC trainer.
3 Spot Reducing Myth It is impossible to spot reduce! Crunches and other abdominal exercises will strengthen the muscle. They will not reduce body fat around the waist. Rely on a balanced combination of cardiovascular activity, strength training, and good nutrition to accomplish your goal. The desired six-pack is unfortunately genetically predisposed. There is not a magic pill or trick. An LFC trainer can help you set realistic goals and motivate you. To get the most from your workouts, simply ask a trainer, or set up an appointment at the front desk, ext Table of Contents Crunch 4 Reverse Crunch 5 Ab Roller Crunch 6 Alternating Crunch 7 Elbow to Knee Crunch 8 Hands Through Knees Crunch 9 Plank 10 Lying Side Bends 11 V-Ups 12 Decline Bench 13 Crunch Stability Ball 14 Alternating Crunch Stability Ball 15 Crunch w/ Marching Legs Stability Ball 16 Reverse Crunch Stability Ball 17 Medicine Ball Crunch 18 Alternating Medicine Ball Crunch 19 Knee Lift w/ Medicine Ball 20 Standing Torso Twist Medicine Ball 21 Sit Up w/ Partner Medicine Ball Toss 22 Hands Trough Knees Medicine Ball 23 Decline Crunch On Bench w/ Medicine Ball 24 Superman 25 Alternating Superman 26 Alternating Superman Stability Ball 27 Back Extension Stability Ball 28 Back Extension Machine 29
