Best Strong Core Workouts

Source: games.crossfit.com

The lower abs exercises below are some of the best strong core workouts you will find.

These workouts are curated from some of the best athletes and coaches in all of CrossFit. A powerful core is key to many of the common fundamentals of CrossFit. In order to carve new abs, improve your core, and develop your midline, hitting your lower abs with a variety of workouts is important.

The core is a very crucial part of all functional movement in CrossFit. The difference between six pack abs and a powerful core is huge. One can have great looking abs but a weak core underneath.

Here some of the best strong core workouts to improve your CrossFit game.

“A bumper plate is a simple tool with which to get an athlete to feel the proper body position needed for a handstand, says CrossFit Level 1 Seminar Staff member Camille Leblanc-Bazinet.

With a bumper plate held overhead, the athlete will learn to squeeze his butt and bring down the rib cage with the abs, eliminating the excessive lower-back arch often seen in inverted athletes.

“I really like this drill just for that, just to understand how to … position their body and which muscles should be working,” Leblanc-Bazinet says as her husband, fellow Level 1 Seminar Staff member Dave Lipson, demonstrates at the CrossFit Inc. gym in Scotts Valley, Calif.”
