I injured my rib on Xmas and it's mostly better now, except any time I do any ab/core exercising it still hurts. Running is fine, leg and arm strength training is fine, but abs are still a no-go. Any tips for ab exercises with a hurt rib? My core is getting really weak. I don't need anything crazy, just maybe something to keep from getting weak without hindering the healing.

And do the part she describes at the end where you move your arm and leg out to the side. It's a great move that gets the whole core.
Another one you could try is (standing) hold a medium weight in front of your lower stomach, then act like you're churning butter, moving the weight in a circle in front of you. Not like a steering wheel, like a butter churn lol. Keep your posture good and go in both directions.
Good luck!!0 -
