"Staying fit / Core exercises."

alli001 (68)modin SteemFit & StayFit • 2 days ago (edited)

I'm excited to be back in the Steemit Learning Challenge, Season 22, Week 4. This week, we're focusing on staying fit by doing core exercises. These exercises help strengthen the muscles in our belly, lower back, sides, and hips.To benefits from this core exercises, we had an informative lesson, including proper execution techniques. After completing the lesson, I'm excited to share my entry as one of this week's participants.

Exercise #1: Inverted mountain climber for upper and lower abs.

Just as the picture shown above, I performed the exercise by lying on my back on the mat with my hands joined behind my head. I lifted my upper body off the ground, bringing my right knee towards my chest and touched it with my left elbow. I also did the same thing with my left knee, lifting it towards my chest and touching it with my right elbow. Throughout the exercise, my hands and upper body remained suspended in mid-air while I twist and rotate touching my knees. This exercise works both on lower and upper abdominal muscles.

Exercise #2: Dorsiflexions for lower back.

Just as the picture above, I executed this exercise by lying flat on my stomach on the mat, with my palms joined together and elbows straight under my chin. Taking this position, I lifted my upper body upwards to my maximum limit, then lowered it back down to the starting position. This exercise helps us stretch and relax the upper and lower abdominal muscles.

Exercise #3: Oscillations for oblique abdominals

This exercise was the simplest of the three. I stood upright with my legs slightly apart, then bent to one side to touch my knee with my palm. Next, I stretched to the other side, reaching my knee level again. Although straightforward, this exercise is crucial as it serves as a stretch that helps prevent muscle soreness and injuries.

Exercise	Repetitions	Rest	Repetitions
Inverted climber	20 reps (Normal Level)	10 sec	20 reps (10 on each side)(Normal Level)
Dorsal flexions	10 reps (Normal Level)	10 sec	10 rep (Normal Level)
Oscillations	20 reps (Soft Level)	10 sec	20 reps (10 on each side)(Soft Level)

Below is my demonstrative video, showcasing all three exercises as learned from the lesson. I've followed the guidelines outlined in the chart above to ensure accurate execution of each exercise.

In your own words, tell us about your experience and how you felt when doing the exercises. (It is not necessary to explain the technique in writing)

Reflecting on my experience with the three exercises, I've had prior experience with the Inverted Mountain Climber, although I haven't practiced it regularly. I felt some pains in my back and lower abdominal muscles (abs) while performing the exercise.

The Dorsal Flexions was a new experience for me, despite having seen it on YouTube. During the exercise, I felt some pains in my waist area.

In contrast, the Oscillations exercise is familiar to me, as I've incorporated it into my daily routine with the StayFit Fitness Club. We often perform it as part of our post-workout stretching routine. Notably, I didn't experience any discomfort during the exercise, instead, I felt relieved after completing my repetitions.

I'm honored to be among this week's participants in the Steemit Learning Challenge. Here is my homework submission for your review, Coach @marvinvelasquez. I'm looking forward to joining the next class next week. Thank you!
