Do this 5 minute Calisthenics Core Routine Everyday!
Hey guys, it’s Michael here from Calisthenics Family
So if you want to learn calisthenics skills
such as the l-sit,
handstand
backlever, human flag
or even the planche
you don’t need visible abs,
but an insanely strong core.
You should certainly NOT do the standard ab exercises
we all know from the gym.
but instead you should do isometric core exercises
to build real core strength.
This daily core routine will help you to improve core strength
and program the right body positions for these calisthenics skills into your system.
With each exercise I will give an easier variation if the regular exercise is yet to hard
so that the routine is doable enough that you can consistently do it every single day.
Because the more you practice this, the faster you’ll get stronger in these movements.
So let’s get started and make sure to complete the workout with me
to discover our weekly give-away at the end of the video
So we will do 5 exercises for 45 seconds on and 15 seconds rest.
The first exercise is the isometric core compression which will help to improve your l-sit.
We only need the floor, so let's get started!
So we're going to sit down
and basically, place our hands on the floor
and we lift our legs up
and hold this position for 45 seconds.
So let's get started in 3,
2,
1,
And let's go!
To make this exercise easier, you can tuck your knees in!
Watch your breathing
slow and controlled
halfway
make sure to point your toes
and keep straight legs
10 seconds left
Let's get to the next exercise
which is the straight arm side plank
This exercise will work your human flag
but also your obliques
and your scapula shoulder strength.
Alright, so place one hand on the floor
stand on your feet
and push your hips forward
so your body is straight from head to toe.
Make sure you press into the floor
so your shoulder won't sag in
but push the floor away
next up is the other side, left hand
just loose up a little bit
and let's go to the other side
same thing, hands on the floor
stand on your feet and push your hips forward
completely straight line, let's go!
So the next exercise is going to be
the Hollow Body Hold
This exercise will work the lower portion of your rectus abdominus
but also helps with your handstand and frontlever
Make sure to bring your legs in the air
and hands in the air
make sure that your lower back is always in contact with the floor
So let's get started in 3,
2,
1,
and go!
make sure to contract your upper abs as well
bring your shoulders from the floor
and keep holding this!
this one is very hard,
but defenitely get's the job done!
Let's move on the the last one
and that is the Superman Hold
Which will work and help with your
Backlever and Planche
but also of course works your lower back strength.
We are going to lay down on our belly.
We extend our body and lift our arms and legs up
Let's go. 3, 2, 1 and hold!
Alright, that’s it guys.
A proper 5 minute core routine that actually works to get a stronger core.
