Most modern people use their computers and smart phones for a long time, and sit in front of the desk all day while doing something. They have no time to straighten themselves up so their backs are curved and their shoulders bent. These symptoms are not unfamiliar to Kyonngi University students. Then this time the Pharos will introduce core exercises for students' correct posture and health. The term "core" means the center of the body and refers to the abdomen, hips, and pelvic muscles, which are the center of the body. Core exercise is the basis of systemic health. In particular, this helps to reduce waist circumference and make the waist stronger. It also has the advantage that it can be done without special tools and can be practiced regardless of time and place. When you are tired of studying or when you want to wake up, why don't you try a simple stretching exercise to

refresh yourself? Studying is important, but I hope that Kyonggi University students will have a healthy and happy school life with a correct posture and light exercises.

Three core exercises that you can easily follow

Plank

① Place your elbows and knees on the floor.

② Straighten your knee and make your body straight. Use your elbows and feet to hold your body off the floor for 30 seconds - 1 minute.

Point

➜ Make your waist and body straight. Be careful not to let the waist

fall down. Keep your neck aligned by pulling in your chin.

➜ This action uses the core muscles of the abdomen, pelvis, and

thighs, so it helps to train the core muscles just by keeping your body straight. 

Superman

① Lie face down on the floor.

② Lift your arms and legs straight up and keep your gaze forward.

Point

➜ If you exercise for too long, you can cause back pain; 3-5 times

every 10 seconds is appropriate.

➜ Helps strengthen core muscles in the waist and back of the thighs.  

Bridge

① Lie down flat.

② Bend your knees and lift your hips up and down.  

Point

➜ Repeat slowly.

➜ It helps to develop the hips and back muscles, and it is helpful if you are sitting at your desk for a long time or have back pain.
