5 Minutes to an Iron CoreBy John Grube

Who out there doesn't want to build a core iron? Everyone wants to build a strong core, however most go about it the wrong way.

One mistake that many people make is doing hundreds of crunches and expecting to see a six pack when they look in the mirror.

Mistake number two is thinking that the latest abdominal (ab) machine on t.v. will give the answer you are looking for. It won't. Save your money.

If you do watch infomercials you will hear that using their abdominal (ab) machine for 7 minutes a day with a low-calorie diet will give you the abdominals (abs) you always dreamed of. Yeah, do pushups for 7 minutes a day with a low-calorie diet and you will also get great results too. 7 minutes is a long time whether you a doing pushups, or jumping jacks it really doesn't matter, 7 minutes can be brutal.

Building an iron core is hard work, the core needs to be trained to be functional and not so much for looks. But if you want to build a strong core you need to train your core from all angles and eat as natural as possible.

It doesn't matter if you have the strongest most muscular core if it's hidden under a layer of fat or adipose tissue it won't matter no one will see them, not even you. Stay away from junk food. Eat the greatest you can and strip away the fat.

Try this 5 minute bodyweight core strengthening workout:

The legs should never touchthe ground. Keep'em up.

Start by laying on your back-raise your legs 6 inches, hold it. Now raise your legs straight up, toward your your head. Bring them back down. Don't touch the floor. Now repeat this for 1 minute.

If you get tired, just rest your legs in the 6 inches position.

Now roll to your side. Keep both legs together. Now you will work the oblique's . Keep your legs off the ground and start raising your legs toward the ceiling. Do this for 1 minute.

Roll to the other side and repeat. Now you have been doing only 3 minutes of core work.

Roll back to your back and repeat the first exercise for 1 minute. And finish off with 1 minute of 6 inches. Simple however very effective.

You can build a strong core, free of charge the only thing that it will cost is some sweat.

Raise your head and look forward as you aim to hold this position for one minute. This describes the typical Plank posture.

Now comes the key to the infinitelysuperior Poker. As you breathe in suck your stomach toward your spine, and lock it there. Breathe in deeply and out fully and forcefully through the nostrils, while at the same time contracting your abdominal muscles like crazy. Remember to hold the lock on your abdominals hard.

Guide to Strong Core Exercises

Guide to Strong Core ExercisesBy Dominic Ferrara

Core exercises are just as important as the name implies - they workout the core of your body, which benefits the rest of your body as well. Your core area are the muscles around your trunk and pelvis. Good core stability means that the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips, and abdomen are all working together, which in turn makes it much easier to do a lot of things. For example, when you have good core strength, you will find it easier to play golf or tennis and even to tie your shoes! You will have better posture, and you greatly reduce your risks for lower back pains or injuring your muscles. Sadly, however, most people think they just need to do a few sit ups or crunches to work out their core, and by doing so, they severely neglect that muscle group. Fortunately, there are a lot of easy core exercises you can do - right from the comfort of your own home, if you like - to strengthen your core area.

First, there are the standard core exercises, the ones most of us learn to do in grade school. These include squats, push ups, sit ups, and crunches that target your abdominal area. If you are looking for some more intense core exercises, then first up is the bridge. To do this exercise, you need to lie on your back with your knees bent. It is very important to keep your back in a relaxed, sort of neutral position - no arching your spine or pressing your back into the floor! Next, tighten your abdominal muscles and lift your hips off of the floor so that they are aligned with your knees and your shoulders. Hold this position for three seconds (count them out: one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi), then slowly return to the starting position, and start all over again.

The second type of hardcore core exercises are segmental rotations. Again, begin by lying down with your back in a relaxed position and yourknees bent. Tighten your abdominal muscles once more. This time, however, you are going to let your knees slowly fall to the left while keeping your shoulders on the floor. Do not stress yourself too much - only let your legs fall as far as is comfortable for you. When you are doing it right, you will feel the tension of the stretch however you will not experience pain. Hold for another three count, return to the starting position, and then repeat, this time lowering your legs to the right.

The last set of core exercises are quadrupeds. For this exercise, you begin on your hands and knees. Your hands should be directly below your shoulders and your head and neck should be aligned with your back. Start off by tightening your abdominal muscles, then lift your left arm off the floor and reach ahead. Hold for a three count, then lower your left arm and repeat the exercise using your right arm. Once you are back in the starting position, this time, you are going to raise your left leg off the floor. If you feel yourself falling off balance, just tighten the muscles in your trunk area. Hold for a three count, go back to the starting position, and do the same with your right leg.

Do these core exercises regularly, and you will be on your way to a strong, healthy core - not to mention some serious six-pack abs!
