Yoga House's video: Yoga poses - Best ab workouts for core strength - Part 2

Today's yoga pose is called the boat pose and it is the best ab work if you want to develop core strength. Core strength is the vital force that holds you steady in your asana. Without a strong physical centre, every yoga pose you do is in danger of falling apart from the inside out. Core strength is what lets you keep it together. How does this yoga move or ab workout help? It strengthens your hips, abdominal muscles, tones your thighs and gives you a flat stomach. These abdominal exercises are also excellent for improving body balance and coordination. This ab workout routine or the navasana yoga pose is an excellent stretching exercise for strengthening your legs and lower back. This asana opens your chest and increase the lung capacity, it even stimulates your thyroid and in turn increases metabolism. How to do boat pose: This is a variation of the boat pose to work on strengthening the sides of the body. Begin by getting into the boat pose. Keep the spine nice and straight. Lean back, feet off the ground, reach the arms forward and then slowly begin to take the arms over to one side. The rest of the body still in the same position, only moving the arms, back to centre. Keep the spine nice and straight. Next, try doing this without breathing, so inhale over to the side and exhale back to centre. Repeat and release.
