6. Deep core exercises: train your core from the inside out with MyCore
When most people think about training their core, they picture sit-ups, planks, or chasing visible abs. But real strength starts deeper than that. That’s where deep core exercises come in.
At mycore, we’re all about building from the centre because your core isn’t just about how it looks, it’s about how you move, perform, and feel every day.
What are deep core exercises?
Your “core” isn’t just your abs. It’s a group of muscles that includes:
- The transverse abdominis (your deepest core layer)
- The pelvic floor
- The diaphragm
- The lower back muscles
These muscles work together to stabilise your body, support your posture, and help you move efficiently.
Deep core exercises target these inner muscles, rather than just the surface-level ones. Think less “six-pack” and more strength, control, and balance.
Why training your deep core matters
A strong, deep core changes everything, whether you’re running, lifting, or just going about your day.
- Better performance. Your core is the foundation of almost every movement. A stronger core means better stability, power, and control.
- Injury prevention. Weak core muscles can lead to poor posture and strain on your back. Training deep core muscles helps protect your body long-term.
- Improved posture. If you spend a lot of time sitting, your deep core is probably underactive. Strengthening it can help you stand and move better.
Simple deep core exercises to get started
You don’t need a gym or complicated equipment. Here are a few effective options:
Dead bugs
A great beginner-friendly movement that builds coordination and control.
Bird dogs
Perfect for improving balance and engaging both your core and lower back.
Glute bridges
Targets your posterior chain while activating your core.
Plank (done properly)
When done with correct form, planks activate your deep core, not just your abs.
The key isn’t speed, it’s control and consistency.
Don’t forget the fuel
Training your core is one part of the equation, but what you eat matters too.
After a workout, your body needs protein to recover and rebuild. That’s where mycore fits in.

Making it part of your routine
The best thing about deep core training? It doesn’t take hours.
Even 10–15 minutes, a few times a week, can make a noticeable difference. Pair it with something you already do after a run, before bed, or as part of your workout.
Keep it simple, stay consistent, and focus on quality over quantity.
