Malaika Arora just stepped up her leg day routine by trying a core stability drill on a yoga mat with her trainer\u2019s support. She shared a video on Instagram, captioning it: \u201cTrain together, balance better \ud83e\udd38\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2640\ufe0f. A great partner drill for developing core stability \ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffb & a stronger handstand line \ud83e\udd38\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2642\ufe0f!\u201d The video shows her attempting an advanced leg raise, and according to the Welcome actor<\/a><\/strong>, it is \u201ca must-try exercise if you want stronger core stability\u201d.<\/p>\n

Why is the core important?<\/p>\n

Anamika Lalwani, Founder of Lit Fit Dance & Fitness Studio, added that the core is the body\u2019s powerhouse, and maintaining its strength is crucial for overall health and functionality. \u201cIt is the foundation of all movement. From sitting and standing to bending and lifting, a strong core supports your body in everything you do. It\u2019s not just about achieving defined abs; it\u2019s about stability, balance, and spine protection. Core strength helps prevent injuries, improves posture, and enhances performance in workouts and everyday activities,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To add to that,\u00a0Dr Anup Khatri, senior consultant, orthopaedics, Gleneagles Hospital, Parel, Mumbai<\/a>, mentioned that a solid lower-body routine helps strengthen the body\u2019s foundation.\u00a0\u201cYour legs, hips, and glutes support daily movements like walking, climbing stairs, lifting, and maintaining balance. A strong lower body also reduces pressure on the knees and lower back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

Notably, the benefits of lower-body training go beyond muscle strength. It improves posture, boosts metabolism, enhances balance, and lowers the risk of falls and injuries, especially as we age. Strong leg muscles also support better heart health and help with weight management.<\/p>\n

What to keep in mind<\/p>\n

Dr Khatri said that the lower body should be trained twice<\/a> <\/strong>a week ideally, as this gives muscles enough time to recover while still building strength. Rest days are just as important as workout days for long-term fitness and overall well-being, he added.<\/p>\n

A strong lower body is also closely tied to metabolic health. Larger muscle groups require more energy, so training them regularly can elevate resting metabolic rate and support body composition goals. Practical, functional movements not only improve aesthetics but also enhance daily performance and athletic capacity.<\/p>\n

Lastly, when it comes to fitness, consistency and correct form matter more than heavy weights. \u201cWarm up properly, stretch after workouts, and listen to your body. Pain is a signal, not something to ignore,\u201d said Dr Khatri.<\/p>\n
