![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 🙏🏽🙏🏽
*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
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.
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.
Good to see you 2 collaborating. Your videos introduced me to his.and his stuff his amazing
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!
Great content.
Thank you for your hard work.
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.
🎉😂
Thank you for this valuable info ❤
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 ?
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
I love your videos!
Can you educate us on how to treat imbalanced hips/one leg slightly shorter than the other?
My health has greatly improved with these videos. Thank you sincerely
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 this!! 👏🏾thank you
glad u havent changed, been recommending u to all the #legday homies
Did you know that a [insert exercise] is amazing if done correctly?
Yo! I think a good video idea would be how to overcome limited mobility due to injuries like breaks. I physically cannot get my knees over my toes due to a metal plate in my leg. I’m sure there are many others with similar problems that would benefit from your input on this! Love your videos!
Always with the good stuff, all clear and very neat. Thank you !
excellent recommendations as per usual from the even MORE excellent Dr. H and pal 👍
Def gonna try these at the gym next week
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.
Great video SQUAT UNIVERSITY! My favorite exercise discussed in this video is the single arm KB press. I implement these for myself and all my patients to develop core stability and upper body strength! This is definitely a staple of mine which I believe can be a valuable tool for many healthy aging adults wanting to maintain their upper body strength! It always amazes me how challenging pressing weight overhead can be on your breathing mechanics as well! Thanks for posting this one!
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 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.
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!
Great great vid with some real info
make a video on shoulder full mobility
Exercise 2 is legit
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.
That skeleton bending over wrong with the back exploding cracks me up every time. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For an off-balanced deadlift, I hold the barbell on one side where the weights insert. It achieves the same thing as the kettlebell deadlift
Dude your content production strategy is insane. This should be called creator university.
Depends on the core/ab exercises you do. And there are people with back injuries who need isolated core/ab exercises to tighten muscles. They cannot lift weights. Also, I workout to KayKay fitness. She does core/ab exercises, but she also adds power moves to get the heart rate up. You cannot tell me she is doing things wrong. Her body says otherwise.
Thank you for this discovery. No more sit ups, I could shed a tear.
Hii can you make a video on FHL and all related calf and ankle injuries and exercises for rehab and strengthening please....Love from India
That's all I needed to hear! 🙃🤣
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
Can we use dumbbell instead of kettlebell? If no, then what's the alternative for kettlebell?
Kettlebells for the win!
Can you evenly still work it by holding kettlebell in center (while keeping it close to sins/thighs)?
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
There wasn’t the video pic/link where you pointed at the end. 🤷🏻♀️
It's up there now.
I just read the title and validated my life
Love it 💪
what day should you program this intro? should you do this as a warm up or do on specific days?
So much more benefit with these excercises rather than isolated abs!
Listen to this guy hes a genuis!!!
72 years old - got dumbbells, not kettlebells. Seems kind of late to invest in kb. Think I can same effect with dbs?
Everygotdamn, Dre!
What are your thoughts on doing the kickstand RDL(or deadlift) but contralateral? I like doing the suitcase personally.
Really wish I knew where you were located. My muscle that run down the left side of my spine and my left scapula do not engage. Doctors cannot figure it out here.
I would literally love to hear what you think about this.
Thanks for all the info. Could you please help with more info on hip rotation exercises? I feel that my left leg is shorter and read it more about a one sided hip rotational drop issue more than a shorter leg that can be corrected through exercise. Please help.
I've got only 16kg Kettlebell and it is too much for me in OH-press, but I can do Jerks with proper technique. Is it a big difference in case of working on core?
I want to know if there is any connection about hernia and core activation. For example wrong posture or wrong technique
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.
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.
Do you have any recommendations to fix diastasis recti so my spine is supported and my scoliosis is not causing pain anymore?
@SquatUniversity can you do a updated remake of the kettlebell weight shift video
But do you think doing sit ups is not a good idea? Is it save doing them, long term?
A military sit... IF DONE CORRECTLY is actually an awesome functional core exercise. However the military sit up is an extremly advanced movement.
I had added the McGill Big Three 2-3 x a week a month ago.... But I guess I'll drop that now....
Yup, legs up when I do pull ups, good ab workout
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!
I dont see the point in standard deadlifts unless your a powerlifter. Rack pulls for upper body days n single leg rdl for lower body days
I agree. I feel like the risk of injury with the deadliff offsets any benefit for most people lifting for health
When performing an exercise that involves only one kettlebell, should we do them for both sides?
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.
Just in time
Hi, can you make a video on hip strain? you have a lot of videos on hip inpingment already :)
can you please also tell the difference between using regular barbell and Hex barbell
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 ?
I do weights like overheads and deadlifts but I also do ab targeted workouts to strengthen my core for the deadlifts and such. Am I really wasting my time?
Where is the video that was supposed to be press-able at the very end? Can you please upload it to the description?
thx for this. I'll share with my young nephew.
Can I suggest you communicate with your pal using his name? Makes for a more inclusive video. cheers.
🤔 how’s this core isolation excercises different from the one which he just mentioned earlier ?
Finally ❤
yoo a new vid on scapular winging???
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
Can someone explain if there is a difference between a strong core and a stable core? I thought they were the same?
the kettlebell guy is awesome
He the real MVP
How do you do these with bad knees 😢
We need a riostwin colab
The skeleton scene with the back explosion made me lmao - so hilariously out of place
Just do both...
Imma have rent a room at the gym, so many good exercises to add. Not enough time hahah
Does bulgarian squat works the core too
Thanks I needed this because I'm skinny fat lol. can you do videos for skinny fat people?
Candlestick
One of the best Ab exercises to activate Abs.
And its quick because most people can’t do more than 15 reps 😳😜
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
❤
Hello doc have you treated some cyclists ? Thank you.
Sir make a video on abs which will help in shape and calisthenics strength of abs
There's already millions of videos on that subject...
Wrong channel and definitely not the best use of time/expertise for a doctor of physical therapy who specializes in athletic performance. Any schmuck can have “nice looking” abs in spite of what they do. We are up in here trying to make monsters.
2:07
2:48
3:48
Is this true ?
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
please teach me more master
what if you’re trying to train your abs for aesthetics, let’s say model abs what’s the advice for that
90% diet and 10% hard work. You can't out train a shit diet. I tried.
Don"t drop the weights on your feet if you work out barefoot.
You should show with Barbell, Kettle bell AND dumbbells.
Why would I squat with two kettlebells when I can do the same with a barbell? I don't get the point of adding a second kettle 😀
Because there are people who cannot lift weights like that. But they can do kettlebells. I assume you have no clue about people with backissues etc..
It's just less stable and results in generally more muscle activation and a bigger variety in muscle activation than barbell. More stable than a barbell would be a machine less stable than bb is db, then kb, then we kind of get into unconventional territory.
ABS workouts are best way to get your core strong and sexy 6 pack!!! I am proof of that!
