Ready to take your core training to the next level? Here are 10 dynamic core exercises to add to your workout arsenal:

Begin in a plank position, wrists under shoulders. Lift one arm and the opposite leg simultaneously, maintaining stability. Return to start and repeat on the opposite side.

3. Russian Twists with Medicine Ball

Sit, knees bent, feet lifted. Hold a medicine ball, twist torso to one side, touching the ball to the ground beside you. Return to center and twist to the other side.

4. Mountain Climbers

Start in plank position, hands under shoulders. Drive one knee towards your chest, alternating legs quickly like running in place. Keep core engaged and a steady pace.

5. Hollow Body Hold

Lie on your back, arms extended overhead, legs straight. Lift shoulders and legs off the ground, forming a "banana" shape. Engage core to keep lower back pressed into the floor.

6. Woodchoppers

Stand, feet shoulder-width apart, holding weight or resistance band. Rotate torso, chopping diagonally across your body. Return to start and repeat on the other side.

7. Bicycle Crunches

Lie on back, hands behind head, legs lifted. Alternately bring elbows towards opposite knee while extending the other leg. Keep core engaged and move smoothly.

8. Pike Push-Ups
