Dr. Mailie Harris from The Chiropractic Wellness Studio joins us to demonstrate five core workouts you can do at home. It's important that when we work out our core, we do so safely and recover with a good stretch. This will ensure we are isolating the correct muscles and not causing tension build up or strain. These exercises are gentle on the body but can enhance strength in the abdominal centre.
