Common Questions and Answers about Exercise your core

Avatar f tn Running is a great way to burn fat fast and it helps your core. I also recommend workouts such as the "Spartacus" or T25 workouts. These are videos of quick 20 min workouts that are intense but burn a lot of calories and they work your entire core. Take a peek at these on YouTube they are great and they work.
1931709 tn?1335833095 No i think it should be okay...strengthening your core :) helps with posture as well... and im sure you will know your limit as you may get sore quickly... while your doing it make sure to do your kegels;) you can also find belly support tops that help lift and may make it easier as your tummy gets heavier... i wouldnt suggest doing crunches or anything like that and like i said know your limit but it sounds like a pretty light exercise to me....
Avatar f tn I agree, my husband does Sports Medicine and he recommends stopping all core work that puts u flat on your back @ 20 weeks, but plank and rotation work is perfect.
Avatar n tn Hey moms. I am curious about how you guys are getting in your exercise. I have eliminated any kinds of ab workouts, I do a quick simple arm and leg routine and then do 2o min on my elliptical. Some days I am all full of energy and have to remind myself that I set a time limit for a reason. Other days, I don't feel like doing anything! My lil workout is how I end the day. The kids are in bed, so is my so. I clean then I take my workout as some me time. Then shower and bed.
Avatar f tn I would be careful. you dont want to do any that will stretch your stomach. I would ask your doctor what's ok and not ok. or look some up online.
Avatar f tn Whatever exercise you're doing now is perfectly safe to carry on as your body is already used to it. Just don't go crazy overboard or do anything dangerous that could cause you to fall and hurt yourself. You can always ask your healthcare provider for extra information.
1285110 tn?1420147378 a week on your arms would be enough. I do 20 on arms, 20 on legs, and 20 on core per week. The weight your using is also good, your at 3. I use 3 and 5. If you go up I wouldn't go up more than that.
Avatar f tn I am almost 38 weeks and have worked out consistently the entire pregnancy. I did barre classes, which i loved until recently. They have great pregnancy modifications and are a great workout. On days i didn't do that and now, I do light weights, cardio, core, etc. On days i don't feel like working out, i will at least wander around a store for an hr or two. I think it has helped my pregnancy go by super easy and kept my energy up.

Avatar n tn I lifted #50 plus items (required for my work) After an MRI and two steroid injections into the base of my spine, I am a little better but still suffer with constant pain. The physiatrist said I should do exercise to strenthen my core muscles and lift weights but not to excess and he thought 50 lbs was execive for my height/weight. He disappeared without telling me what kind of exercise I should do to strengthen the core muscles and wants to see me in 2 months.
Avatar f tn list=PL9FxWnfq1Oyo9pHHUPHeQne4iqoZ4zTN_ Figure your heart rate by this formula  The Karvonen Formula is a mathematical formula that helps you determine your target heart rate zone. The formula involves using your maximum heart rate (MHR) minus your age to come up with a target heart rate range (which is a percentage of your MHR). Staying within this range will help you work most effectively during your cardio workouts.
Avatar f tn t do ANY exercise that engages your core until you talk to a physio. If the pain gets worse you should go to the doctor- you may have done some damage with the lifting and stretching. I am sorry you aren't getting proper support here. I'll help any way I can.
Avatar f tn The trainers told me im ok to do almost anything i was doing prior to falling pregnant but not to do anything that puts extra strain on the core or anything that gets your heartrate over 145bpm.
Avatar f tn m 11 weeks 4 days too, ftm, but have lots of experience. It is safe to exercise normally until your doc tells you otherwise. Some people can be hard core all the way up till the due date and some can't. Don't push yourself tho and don't do things you didn't do before your pregnacy such as run a marathon ;). But as long as your OK the baby is too. Talk to your doc tho they always have the best answer.
424839 tn?1268186246 If you have lower back pain try the core exercies in my photo's it will explain how to do them. what the core muscle's are for is to staplize the spine from the abdomin side.
Avatar f tn #2 Place your weight on the left side and place your left hand on the floor for balance. Slowly extend your right leg to about hip height, keeping your core muscles contracted. #3 Place your hand behind the head and crunch your torso toward the right leg. Repeat the exercise six to eight times on each side. #1 Use the squat with twist exercise to burn fat all over. Start out in a standing position. Spread your feet about shoulder-width apart.
1906433 tn?1321844691 A PT could help to develop a plan for regain some strength in your legs and core based on you. If you can get that referral you might be able to get six-10 sessions where the PT would work side by side with you and help to to gently improve your strength with ball and gentle mat type exercises and also assess and teach you how to use the equipment that might be appropriate for you to use.
1091003 tn?1257710173 Still, if you suffer from anxiety and for some unrelated reason you had some heart palps after/during exercise and then go it in your mind the exercise caused the problem... well it could be that's enough to trigger it. I think you should talk with you doctor about treatment for anxiety and see if that helps. Here I assume you are self diagnosed with anxiety, otherwise you may already have medications.
Avatar n tn Running doesn't really exercise your core, so the knee isn't a problem there. What I'd recommend is seeing a physical therapist who can show you tons of core building exercises, as well as exercises to strengthen your knee and the muscles around it. Or you can go to a gym and get a personal trainer to show you. Or go on You Tube.
Avatar n tn You have to eat fewer calories than you burn if you want to lose weight! Protein-rich foods keep the hunger away. And the fuller you feel between meals, the easier it is to avoid binge eating. A daily whey protein shake with either berries or a banana and ice and water will help keep the hunger away. I recommend buying whey CONCENTRATE not isolate!! concentrate is healthier. when dieting you can't just lose weight at your belly or back. google exercises for the core.
571042 tn?1271447141 hahahah exercise .. the only exercise i do is run around after my kids.. littest one being just about 10 months.. thats all i get .heehee and thats enough. im not a fan of it.. and i have only gained 2 lbs so far and im 21 weeks and 2 days..... so just relax and do wht you want for ur pregnancy.. either way its labor wheither it be a hard one or a easy one you still get the same result in the end ...
Avatar f tn Use the exercise ball to do crunches for your abs, planks for your core and shoulder bridge exercises to work your butt and hamstrings. If you don't want your office to be filled with exercise equipment or you can't invest the cash, do planks and pushups for your upper body, lunges and squats for your lower body, and crunches such as the bicycle crunch and reverse crunch for your core.
Avatar f tn So sorry you have joined the MS club - it is stinky. AS for your exercise question - with that type of workout, I am going to take a not so wild guess that your body temperature heats up. are you familiar with Uhthoff's Phenomenon? I would guess you are feeling so bad because of this common MS problem. when we heat up - even a slight change in core temp - most of us have a degradation of nerve signals and conduction.
Avatar f tn Hi there and thanks so much for posting this interesting question in my forum! I remember that three years ago I had a client with the name of Rebecca and after losing 25 pounds training she was getting this comment Everyone think I am still pregnant. This is a really common condition called Lumbo Hip Complex. Lets start explain that the core can be defined as the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex: there are 29 muscles that form the core.
