If you’ve been told that sit-ups are the key to a strong core, you’re not alone.
But for many people, they can cause more strain than benefit — especially in the lower back and neck.
The good news? You don’t need them.
In this video, we focus on 2 simple and effective core exercises that build real strength, stability, and coordination.
Dead Bugs
This exercise teaches control through opposite arm and leg movement, helping your core stabilise your body while you move.
Overhead March
A great standing option that challenges your balance and forces your core to engage to keep you stable.
Both of these exercises are beginner-friendly and can be done at home with little to no equipment.
If your goal is to move better, feel stronger, and protect your body long-term — these are a great place to start.
Give them a try and see how you feel.
