How to strengthen your core at home: 3 home exercises - Times of India

All you need to call yourself fit is core strength. The abs, obliques, and a deep layer of muscles that support your spine make up the core, which is basically composed of three muscle groups. To strengthen your core, you may need to improve your ability to balance. A few home exercises to build core strength can help you avoid back pain and perform better in sports and other activities.

yesterday after my psych appointment i was like ok. i should try to test these meds i've been on for two months and see if they're helping with my ADHD.

so i came up with a few things i could do (start a workout routine, start writing daily, start a free coding course), immediately realized that all three at once would be way too much to handle, and now i'm having decision paralysis.

so the jury's still out on the meds helping.

not the first or last time I’ll visit this topic but taking physical skill-type classes sucks so much less as an adult where I’m allowed to say “hey doing X hurts, is that bad and if so can you help me adjust it or give me something else to do”

8 Best Core Workouts for Men

[algolagniaa]

well the thing I’m letting go of is my joke of an aerial silks class which I will take the opportunity to rant about here. it started out seeming like it was going to be a good experience like the instructor was teaching the basics which is pretty much where I’m at and the rest of the class was at or below my level. then I twisted my ankle and the rest of the class surpassed me which isn’t anyone’s fault. then the silks instructor quit without notice so the aerial yoga instructor had to take over the silks class. and she is a very nice lady but 1) doesn’t know silks. like literally can’t climb to the top of the silk and 2) isn’t a good teacher even for aerial yoga tbh like I’ve been really frustrated with her aerial yoga classes bc she just throws out move after move for us to do without really giving us any time to practice and she’s also a really short woman and doesn’t seem to know how to help me since I’m tall so I struggle a lot in her class. and this silks class is more of the same plus worse bc she doesn’t know what she’s talking about so it’s like move after move after move all of which are more advanced than I can actually do, no time for me to practice the basics, and all the while the teacher is watching aerial videos on her phone trying to figure out how certain moves are done so she can teach us. like I could easily do this at home at my own pace. and also all the other adults quit bc the teaching quality is so bad so it’s just me and a bunch of children. and it’s really frustrating bc I want to actually learn silks and also I want something to do with my time! especially since I have to wait on ballet until March if I quit this class I won’t have much but man it’s just not a worthwhile experience at all

I did like 5 planks for a minute each and I’m going to be so sore tomorrow

[femmefatalevibe]

This is super awkward and embarrassing to ask but do u have any workout tips and recommendations for someone who is not only overweight but has bigger breasts too? It's always super hard for me to workout because any exercise that I try, my breast keep bouncing and moving erratically lol. Bras don't help too. So doing exercise as a fat person is hard and gets me sweaty but then doing it with big breasts is another story. For example, if I'm doing jumping Jack's, it's uncomfortable and hurts because my chest is literally bouncing. Even with no jumping workouts, it's the same. Or when I'm doing planks or smth, my breasts are just literally hanging and it's super off putting. It's a shame becuase I've been trying to improve my health and lose weight but its super hard to do any real, effective exercises. The easy thing that's easy for me is walking but even running is super hard. Any tips?

I'm sorry if this is too long or personal. Thaknkyou!

Hi love! This is not too personal at all – I bet many women with your body type relate to this struggle. Glad that you feel safe enough to be vulnerable with me about this dilemma.

*Huge disclaimer here: I'm a fairly petite person with smaller breasts, so my advice here is from what I've learned about personal styling/health & wellness over the years.*

I would say these are some helpful tips for working out in a larger body/with a bigger bust:

Make sure you have a VERY well-fitting sports bra for your workout sessions. A control top legging or bike short can also be helpful if you feel self-conscious when working out/to keep any rolls out of the way. Brands like Nike/Knix are known for their great options – have heard some women have success with some Target options as well for a more budget-friendly choice.

If possible, try swimming and aquatic exercises – they can lessen pressure on your joints and just make you feel like all over the place with a large chest.

Do more lying-down exercises: leg lifts/lateral leg lifts, leg raises, dead bugs, hip thrusts, bike crunches

Try standing exercises without jumping: squats, lunges, standing twists, squat crunches, dumbbell presses, overhead circles

Strengthen your core for better natural bust support/to lift & firm your breast tissue. Exercises that strengthen your diaphragm (the area right under your bust), upper back, and core to help alleviate some of the pain. Pushups, wall pushups, leg raises, chest presses, and front/side raises with dumbells are known to be potentially effective for reducing breast size/firming the area

Hope this helps xx
