Core muscle exercises

Hi all, I’m mainly asking for a friend who suffers back pain when running and had been advised to strengthen his core muscles, but could do with strengthening mine too.

Anyone have a good core muscle workout routine they’d like to share or link to?

Thanks in advance.

PS feeling the buzz after my first run last night, soo much more energy today!

Hi, definitely worth doing. I don't have a link but Yoga with Adrienne on YouTube is good.

I do a core stability class at the gym with a swiss ball - a killer but very effective!

Apart from the planks (definitely work😬) and yoga, Pilates is all about core strengthening. Long term, regular Pilates sessions will really help, and are a gentle way to achieve good results. It's done wonders for my back.
