Oh hi there! I’m Lavender and I’m the newest recruit at Kotaku Australia (as well as Gizmodo Australia).
You may have already seen me lurking around the site writing about things like the whole Disco Elysium vs the Classification Board saga, or on our Twitch channel last week. However, I never formally introduced myself, so here I am, introducing myself.
Make exercises for your midsection really count by adding a new piece of equipment. Karen Robock Updated
December 10, 2020
Classic bodyweight exercises aren’t the only way to whip your core into shape. Whether you’re looking to mix up your ab workout or take it to the next level, introducing a piece of equipment might be just what you need for your next home workout. We asked Kim Lavender, VP of team and small group training at GoodLife Fitness, for her take on three must-try tools for the ultimate core workout.
Weighted hula hoops
These aren’t exactly the same as the colourful plastic toys from your schoolyard days, but the basic concept is the same. You’re trying to keep the hoop turning, which isn’t as simple as it looks (or in all likelihood as easy as you remember). The hoops used in conditioning classes are weighted, which makes them easier to keep in motion and a better workout for your abs.
