Core Strength and Body Awareness Exercises:

Plank Pose

The plank pose is a great exercise to strengthen your core muscles. Start in a push-up position with your hands directly under your shoulders. Hold your body in a straight line from head to heels, engaging your core muscles. Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute and repeat.

Pilates Hundreds

Lie on your back with your legs in a tabletop position. Lift your head, neck, and shoulders off the mat and extend your arms by your sides. Pump your arms up and down while breathing in for 5 counts and out for 5 counts. Repeat for a total of 100 counts.

Barre Leg Lifts

Using a barre or sturdy support, stand tall with one hand on the barre for balance. Lift one leg to the side, keeping it straight, and then lower it back down. Repeat for 10-15 reps on each leg to improve balance and strengthen the hips.
