Boat Pose

Video coming soon...

The Boat pose workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the abdominal muscles.

By sitting on the floor and lifting the legs, the bodyweight engages the core for stability.

This workout helps strengthen the abs, improves balance, and enhances overall core strength.

While other muscles are involved, the focus is on the abs, making it an effective abdominal exercise.

Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you and your feet together.
Place your hands on the floor slightly behind your hips, fingers pointing towards your feet.
Lean back slightly and lift your feet off the floor, balancing on your sit bones.
Keep your chest lifted and your spine straight as you engage your core muscles.
Slowly straighten your legs, bringing your body into a V shape.
Extend your arms parallel to the floor, palms facing each other.
Hold this position for the desired amount of time, focusing on engaging your abdominal muscles and maintaining balance.

Engage your core from the start: Begin by sitting on the floor with your legs extended in front of you, then lean back slightly while lifting your feet off the ground. As you do this, focus on pulling your belly button towards your spine, activating your abdominal muscles. This will help you maintain a strong and stable Boat pose throughout the exercise.
Maintain a straight spine: Imagine a string pulling the crown of your head towards the ceiling, lengthening your spine. Avoid rounding your back or slouching, as this can lead to poor form and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise. Keeping a straight spine will also help you engage your abs more effectively, maximizing the benefits of the Boat pose.
Breathe deeply and rhythmically: Inhale deeply through your nose as you find your balance in the Boat pose, then exhale slowly through your mouth as you hold the position. Focus on maintaining a steady and controlled breathing pattern throughout the exercise. This will not only help you stay centered and focused, but it will also engage your deep core muscles, enhancing the effectiveness of the exercise.
Keep your chest lifted and open: Avoid collapsing your chest or hunching your shoulders forward. Instead, imagine a beam of light shining out from your heart, lifting your chest towards the sky. This will help you maintain proper alignment and engage your upper abdominal muscles
