![The 3 Best Core Exercises [Do These Every Day]](/img/tr.png)
Caveat: if your goal is to build ab size for the purpose of being a bodybuilder - obviously ab isolation exercises will have their purpose. But for MOST people who have no desire to step on stage, you can achieve an excellent aesthetic & develop excellent core stability without isolated ab workouts as long as your diet is on point & your training (as covered today) is performed correctly.
Love these vids, thanks mate 👊😎
I mean why you gotta be exclusive about that? There is nothing wrong with training core muscles directly. Pretty disappointed with this kind of close-mindedness from this channel.
@@ddg334he just said there isn’t a problem though? Sounds like you’re the closed mind here. He was outlining best uses for *average* people. If someone wants *functional* strength and stability, they’re not looking for big weightlifting bulk with barbells, they need simple but effective exercises that could be done with just a few pieces of equipment, and an accessible beginning point knowledge-wise, then the versions he demonstrated are excellent. If you want to do extra exercises that isolate muscles and for visual bulk, go right ahead. Nothing wrong with either.
@@isdeirinnme My bad. My reply was more towards the video than the comment
I am following ur previously told core routine with side planks on one day and exercise ball circles with one arm kettlebell pull planks. Just only in couple of weeks it gave me a better posture and control. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I do like how single kettlebells being carried around simulate a lot of daily activities - picking up bags, reaching for items off high shelving, etc. It teaches you that you have a "core" and that it's something to use when carrying off-balance loads.
💯
*STOP Doing Ab Workouts*
Way ahead of you, buddy 😉
Half a sit up to get up and half a sit up to go to sleep
@pepito69 you forgot naps😉 gotta sleep to get those gains
😂 Did he also say eat whatever I’d like? Just asking. 😅 Awesome video, though.
I'm 40 years ahead of the curve let's gooooo
As a retired orthopedic physical therapist, Ryan is the only You Tube channel I can confidently recommend to family and friends for strength training.
I agree up to a point. Trained situps with a 70lb dumbbell. Allows me to toss my kids off me from weird positions 😂.
For me as a rock climber it's essential to be able to lift my lower body by using my abs. There are also other sports where you need strong and mobile abs and core muscles. Movement is the basic principle of muscles.
Well said. I'm planning on doing similar video to this too
@@PeterLE2 Exactly, I practice brazilian jiu jitsu where strong and MOBILE abs are import as well
in this video he is talking about a stabilizing core, the main task of the core is to stabilize lower back so it won't bend and take more of loads than the core. a stable core will prevent back injury and help you to take you heavy weight.
🎉😂
Take home message : Any exercise is a core exercise if done correctly
Multi joint exercises
Many, not any.
Yeah, I made my core stronger by forearm curls and triceps pushdowns
@@mr.p1814😂😂😂
Fr 💀
All the cleverly played shorts got me here.
Love you man, but respectfully, I skipped doing situps for years for hardcore exercises like these, just to realize I was NOT able anymore to do ONE situp from the ground up. I felt really stupid.
Functional exercises are IMPORTANT ! I'm doing them again and it feels great.
That's cause youre weak in general
That sounds like a you problem
These are combo execises and train primally the legs and arms. Yes your core will be trained but waaaay less than if you would train your core directly, like with sit-ups, side-ways sit-ups and legs-up. Don't forget the isometric exercises like the planche !
Great content as always. Thank you ever so much for putting up such phenomenal content - available for all Aaron. It's helped my partner greatly with her knee pain recovery so I just wished to thank you for all that you do to help people get stronger and healthier.
Thank you!
I actually do all of those lifts already with kettle bells, I did not know they were core building too. I will stop and go slower through those moves to see how much my core engages now. Thanks for the tips!
Ab workouts is a waste of time if core stability is the goal. But for hyertrophy and people that want bigger abs then there's nothing wrong with ab workouts. Weighted decline sit ups will give you bigger abs than any core stability exercise.
Exactly. Different goals, different approaches.
But to get rid of fat around the midsection that allows the six pack to be seen, it's not spot training with crunches or ab work outs that so many have recommended for so many years.
Your body doesn't store fat around the midsection because you haven't been doing ab workouts.
Correct
When people say, "we cannot spot reduce fat off our abs by doing ab exercises", I feel as though they are responding to something no one ever says.
I can't speak for everyone, but my friends and I do ab exercises (good ones, with weights and progressive overload) for hypertrophy of the abdominal muscles. When is the last time any fitness expert actually suggested doing ab workouts to spot reduce the fat on their stomach?
Oh boy, seriously, just go to a real lifting gym, and measure the size of abs on lifers and bodybuilders, lifters all have bigger abs, it's almost delusional what you said, you and a lot of people mistakenly think visible abs means bigger, that's very wrong, visible abs means low body fat percentage and only means that.
And for "burning fat", abs workouts are the least effective among everything, just use your high school science knowledge and think about how much work you do, very little work done so is it logical to think they can cause your body to use a lot of energy??? Hell no, it's impossible for those to "burn fat" with any meaningful efficiency, walking fast is a better way comparing to so called abs workout as long as you are in a caloric deficit.
Your abs are simply not designed to fold, their main function is opposite to that, is anti-folding or your torse, and stiffen to protect your internal organs, the only usually called abs workout that works in a meaningful way, are the ones training in isometric load, the dragon flags, the hollowbody holds, or on entry level planches.
I love your videos!
Can you educate us on how to treat imbalanced hips/one leg slightly shorter than the other?
Is that why you get pain in one hip?
Great content.
Thank you for your hard work.
I had 3 inactive muscles in my core and one inactive muscle in my bumm because of sitting at the desk for 15 years of work.
Then I started squatting and deadlifting which led me to injuries.
Activating and strengthen core muscles and glute med and min with ground exercises using instability balls elastic bands were key for my correct deadlift. (just like in the recommended video)
Deadlift is much more complex than it sounds for the first time!
Thanks for those videos !!! I really appreciate all those functionnal kettlebell exercises you presented in the latest videos ! Very nice to see you collab with Dre too ! What do you think about using a fitness trampoline as a way to progress those kettlebell exercises ? Would the added instability from the trampoline's surface be beneficial for core stability ? For exemple if i try doing some kettlebell suitcase march on a trampoline would that be a good stability exercise ?
I got a 6 pack from literally just doing crunches for a few months... soo yeah xD. not a waste of time imo but you keep doing you bro!
These are hard to do! Also I was told dropping your butt that low while doing a squat isnt good for you!
what about goblet squats? I've recently started doing them and I really feel my abdomen activating
To be fair, I think most people that isolate abs for aesthetic reasons know there's no (nonsurgical) spot reduction. The idea is that bigger muscles are more visible under a given amount of fat than smaller muscles. There are some heavier class powerlifters or strongman competitors with abs that are visible well into the 20% bf range in a way they wouldn't be for a smaller person
To be fair, most people that isolate abs fire aesthetic reasons don't know that
My abdominal fat never goes away despite years of fitness, which unfortunately shows that this is a genetic body composition. Yet, I am afraid of liposuction and seeking for non-surgical alternatives. Any suggestions? Thanx🙏🏻
@@burcusavas just lose weight
@@burcusavas eat less lol
@@burcusavasliposuction does a great job if done well. I know lots of people who done it and their belly look like those models from sport magazines cover however, physical activity and proper nutrition are far more important.
Exercise 2 is legit
Abs or six packs (the rectus abdominis) is just like any other skeletal muscles, if it is hypertrophy you are seeking, then it would be better to work it through a full range of motion, not isometric contraction. But if it is core stability and the transverse abdominis that you would like to train, then yes this video is on point.
72 years old - got dumbbells, not kettlebells. Seems kind of late to invest in kb. Think I can same effect with dbs?
I really like your channel. i can understand why your approach is better for lifting stability, but i can tell you as one who practice thai boxing for a lot of years, that my ability to take shots and preduce power in both kicks/knees/punches is very dependent on core contraction and rotation, not only stability.
Did you know that a [insert exercise] is amazing if done correctly?
K.. so I think it's generally thought that this is to "get a 6-pack". I did an crunches at 45 degrees for a month.. I worked up to using 80 lbs for 10 controlled reps, holding it at my forehead. It increased my deadlift, MASSIVELY.
Excellent, exactly what I was looking for. thank you.
Def gonna try these at the gym next week
Please make a video about the Tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) pain which is often mis-diagnosed as a lateral knee pain, and please provide solutions for this pain as I found the subject appears to be missing from your channel! Thanks again for all the great content!
Dude your content production strategy is insane. This should be called creator university.
Love these vidoes!!!
I love this!! 👏🏾thank you
I agree with this video from personal experience. Abs for the longest don't show any visible changes on me, even with a stringent diet, although I feel the impact of course. I have to incorporate other core and strength training to see the results. Thank you.
well, i still do ab workouts. Sure, stability and isometric holds are good already. But, it's still better to do more direct dynamic ab moves to supplement the workout. Quoting from Jeff Cavaliere "not listening is killing your gains". Love your content, i have gained more info to tune my workout further
I like doing V holds and leg raises for my core.
Hi,
Thank you for providing such informative videos. I have learned numerous techniques and forms simply by watching and paying attention to your content. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.❤
I love doing crunches and sit ups. I don't care much about aesthetics but i am more interested in being healthy and strong. Of course i care about what i look like, but that is not what the purpose of exercise is for me. For me it is about feeling good and strong. I have been interested in doing these lifts in the videos more and more but I have no personal trainer and i am scared of hurting myself.
You will rather hurt yourself when you won't do exercise like this. You do not need huge amounts of weights to benefit from these movements. I have severe back issues.. and would be bedridden without them.
@@Claire-cj6nn I agree. I need to start doing those lifts. Everyone should. But to start i feel like i need a personal to help me with proper form. I am scared of hurting myself if i do these without someone correcting me.
There is nothing wrong with crunches if they are part of a well balanced overall workout. If your goal is to just look slim with slight abs then you don't need that exercise. But if your goal is to be able to move your body in many different positions then dynamic core exercises should be part of your training.
@@PeterLE2 ok thank you for the input. Dynamic core exercises is what i need to search.
Great content.
can you make a video on Tricep tendonitis and tendinopathy? It will be more useful to the viewers as there are no good videos on this topic.
I love stability but as a grappling athlete ab exercises for sure help but stability is what allows me to have such a strong core cause without that super strong stability not only will injuries happen in my lower back often but as well as less overall power output in weird positions since in not stable in weird stretched positions
make a video on shoulder full mobility
I definitely gonna be paying more attention to my core for every exercise going forward.
Hello! Very good options. One question that remained is: In order to get abs contractions isn´t necessary the spine contraction??
There wasn’t the video pic/link where you pointed at the end. 🤷🏻♀️
It's up there now.
I think everyone should start with stability core exercises and once they reach a good level of core stability then they should move onto to hypertophy Ab exercises to reduce injury and increase longevity
How Sweet Was That ~ No More Situps Thanks a Ton !!!
Thank you for this discovery. No more sit ups, I could shed a tear.
SSb squatting is also a killer core worker.
Split squats are amazing for my core
I just read the title and validated my life
How to understand what posture to maintain during this? My posture is not that good so I’m scared squats are just gonna hurt my lower back more than anything else
This is def not a video for noobs or people with poor technique. It’s asking you to do a compound movement to workout your abs. But if you have poor mind body connection this will not work. Most people fail when bracing on lifts and just ego lift to the max. Keep doing your core workout and develop that mind body connection. Eventually you can bridge to this advanced form. But under load that’s just not how it works. You’re essentially just trying to get thru the lift. And doing this does equal a flat stomach you still need to diet.
Imagine this: the dude doing these exercises just wants to hit the gym and then the other guy comes around and uses him for his videos
Very informative videos!
I got my visible abs from doing the workouts he's saying not to do... Take from that what you will. He's probably right in terms of function, there will be more effective methods, but for aesthetics, ab workouts work, for me anyway
Nice, i workout my ABS and CORE 4 times per week, and have amazing 6 pack! :)
Good information but bad presentation in regards to the first part of the video saying the ab workout were “BS” and later saying “although those ab exercises are fine” contradicts
excellent recommendations as per usual from the even MORE excellent Dr. H and pal 👍
what if you already have a bulged disk, and you want to recover from it and rebuild weakened abs and back muscles?
I had added the McGill Big Three 2-3 x a week a month ago.... But I guess I'll drop that now....
Always with the good stuff, all clear and very neat. Thank you !
This is interesting. I am always just looking to be awesome and have perfect abs.
How to train core: Deadlifts, squats and overhead press.
How to train legs: deadlift, squat and ohp
How to train arms: deadlift, squat and ohp
How do multimillion dollar contracted professional athletes train... Anything except for deadlifts, squats and ohp.
How did Mike Tyson and Ali train core, a tonne of old school situps.
Something missing here.
What about ab roller exercises?
Isometric are good for the functional and everyday gym goer but to see physique results I would look at what
alec blenis is doing.
How about do whatever exercise you like for it…
Can I use dumbell instead of kettlebell
Hello! Thanks for the video! I am genuinely considering your advice. May I ask what you think of planks for core centric exercises? Including the standard, forearm and side planks?
Great exercise
@@SquatUniversity thank you very much!
Ok, but you can spot add muscle, which is why people do ab isolation exercises. Anyway, definitely do squats/DLs/OHP! But there's no reason to stop doing abs if you want abs.
How can I make sure my spine is in the correct position?
can you please also tell the difference between using regular barbell and Hex barbell
You can't spot reduce abs, but you can definitely make the core stronger by doing ab workouts with heavy weights. Your heaviest 10 rep weights.
When performing an exercise that involves only one kettlebell, should we do them for both sides?
Speed run edition
Disagree here doc…. Progressive overload has taken me from no visible abdominal strength to ripped abs and has also helped aid in lower back strength.
Can you do these with dumbells?
So much more benefit with these excercises rather than isolated abs!
Listen to this guy hes a genuis!!!
These are good exercises but I did not waste time doing my ab workouts. I hit a plateua and the best advice was to add resistance.
what day should you program this intro? should you do this as a warm up or do on specific days?
@SquatUniversity can you do a updated remake of the kettlebell weight shift video
I'd love a follow along I can just put on and do
Honestly, so much more likely for me to do it if I can just put on a 15min video and follow along at home/the gym really helps
Hello doc have you treated some cyclists ? Thank you.
How about a work for core strengthening?
Yea, would like to see you pull of a front lever, or a dragon flag, by only doing theese core stability workouts
Precisely. This video is BS. To be good at a movement you have to practice it. With just these exercises you'll never be able to do hard complex movements like front lever or hard bouldering
I know you probably won't see this comment of mine but I want to thank you for the information you share, I am grateful and I respect you, thank you!
I love squat university and implement most of the advice here but I think this could be a rare L. I am a footballer and I’m friends with people who play football and rugby at high levels and some of the core exercises professional coaches suggest are some of the ones regarded as BS
Great great vid with some real info
Hi, can you make a video on hip strain? you have a lot of videos on hip inpingment already :)
Any recommendations for body weight abdominal exercises?
Doesn't do anything for hypertrophy of the abs tho, which matters if you want them to show.
Actually, the lack of bodyfat is the 99% of it - that's what gives them their definition, the visual aesthetic of "having abs". 👍
Lifting heavy also builds muscle buddy. Your abs are no different than any other muscle you don't always need hypertrophy.
lol.... function over looks bro... get real.
@@ryanbruno1708 Because all he cares about is "aesthetics".
there's nothing wrong with focusing on aesthetics.@@Sun-ic7rq
These are for core strength. Abs workouts are still useful if you want isolated definitions. Ofcourse if you don't want the aesthetic aspect, no need to bother.
again, very informative video! i was wondering, do you have any knowledge about als most a full spinal fusion and how this can affect how your core works?
because of a severe scoliosis i had surgery when i was younger. i’m wondering if my core actively stabilizes when doing these kinds of workouts (or if it can be lazy since my spine had been ‘fused together’).
2:00 "I'm Skylar White, yo!"
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Cool. Ill still do them
I have injured hand and can't hold anything in my hand (if I have to grip it), so how would I exercise my abs ? I was thinking planks, but are there any other exercises that don't involve gripping something ?
Where is the video that was supposed to be press-able at the very end? Can you please upload it to the description?
Awesome
What are your thoughts on doing the kickstand RDL(or deadlift) but contralateral? I like doing the suitcase personally.
The problem I have with this is, that the focus is solely on health... sounds weird I know ;)
But, sure for sole health reasons of the average person you would want to focus on core stability as the clip says, but in combat sports you do not only want your core to be stable but also to generate explosive force from it, from and into sometimes rather weird angles, therefore you need to train the so dubbed dynamic-"bullshit".
Recommending deadlift? Huge injury risk...
That's all I needed to hear! 🙃🤣
how many sets and reps each exercise?
Can you use a rum jug?
