Use a good quality probiotic/prebiotic
✳️Take a good quality probiotic/prebiotic in the morning. This has game changer for me. In order to feel the difference, you have to be consistent. If you need a recommendation I suggest BIOHM. I’ve been using their products for 2+ years because the probiotic is the only one that works for me. I’ve tried so many in the past and nothing compares. You can use code HERBALGUIDE for a discount (linked website on my bio) If you don’t want to take supplements then you can eat foods high in pro/prebiotic. It’s harder that way but it can be done.
Reverse crunch
✳️ This exercise increases the strength in your low abdominal area, helping focus on this one area if you want a more targeted exercise. Lie on your back with your knees bent to your chest. Lower your feet down to the ground slowly, try to keep your feet elevated slightly off the ground before bringing your knees back up to your chest.
Bird Dog Crunch
✳️ This unusually named exercise is perfect for targeting your lower back! A lot of the core activities you’re used to target your abdominal area, this crunch helps not only your lower back but improves balance and stability. Kneel on all fours before raising your right arm out, and at the same time straighten your left leg out. Once you’ve done this hold before lowering to the ground and repeat on the other side.
Bicycle Crunch
✳️ Sitting with your upper and lower abs will be tested with this crunch, along with your hips! Make sure you don’t twist your body too quickly or hard as this could cause injury. Sit with a slight bend at your knees, and bring your right knee up and your left elbow down towards each other. Repeat this on the other side.
Glute Bridge
✳️ The Glute Bridge targets your glutes! This one is pretty straight forward so why don’t you add weights for a twist. Lie on your back with your hands on the floor and feet flat; when lifting your hips off the ground squeeze your glutes!
