Roll out of bed exercises? (for core)

Posts: 248 Member
Starting back out to re-gain some muscle after the kid years. Does anyone know of a pretty simple quick series of exercises that can be done within 10-15 minutes at home, without equipment (thinking something easy that I can do immediately after rolling out of bed). Focused on core? (or direct me to a link?)

You likely didn't get any hits in the exercise section because your questions wasn't very clear and very mixed at what you wanted. If you are just looking for some core exercises, you aren't going to regain any muscle. Google the following exercises-Planks, dead bugs, bird dogs, mountain climbers, bridge variants, glute bridge, Hollow body, superman holds. They will work your entire core (not just abs)1

I was doing planks but then I met with a personal trainer who is also a physical therapy assistant. He said planks are really hard on shoulders. I have shoulder issues already, so I stopped them. Wall sits are good.0

Get back ups are a very effective, functional core workout. You can do as many rounds as you have time for:

Yep I really like them. Really something people at almost any level can do with modifications. Weaker individuals can use a bench if needed for assistance as they get started. All the way to advanced who can do them with fewest points of contact and for time1 -

They were also invigorating - next time my coworker complains about being sleepy I'm going to tell him to do these0 -

Thank you for posting this! I love that the movements are simple and reflect the types of getting-up-off-the-floor situations we need to be able to do in real life.0
