Leonine Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hello Nf'ers! I know a lot of you know your stuff about efficient exercise, and I was wondering if I could get some advice for this upcoming challenge. One of my goals is to strengthen my core; not looking to lose nor gain weight, but just a solid, stable trunk to use when I start being able to exercise properly. For the majority of the next six weeks, I won't have access to any sort of gym, equipment or facility; all I will have at my disposal will be a bedroom, and my own self. I will also, by my estimate, only be able to devote about 10 min a day to my exercise. So my question is, what are the most efficient bodyweight moves for core strength? I know crunches are out of the question, and I do love a good plank, but other than that I would really appreciate some ideas to get me in a good direction. Even if they're crazy over-the-top, it'll give me something to strive for... Thanks in advance, I appreciate it!

Wolfhorde Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 L-sits. Seriously. Practice them. Very good core strength. *....insert Notebook teaser here...* This. Although you can generally look at static dip variations like a more frog-like position or just experiment a bit and see what you can roll with. You can also try L-sits from a pullup bar/tree, in case of the latter if you really want to crush it you can try pullups/chinups from that position.
