The core exercises suggested by Luke can be done by using your own body weight instead of the weights that you use in the gym.


 

The first exercise is a mountain climber, for which, all you need is a yoga mat. You can even do it on the floor without the mat if you are comfortable. You need to lie down on the floor resting on your hands with back straight in a plank position. Try to pull your knees towards your chest and make movement. You needn't necessarily run while doing the movement and can do it one step at a time to learn proper technique of the exercise. This exercise can be good for your heart rate, abs, tummy shoulders and legs. Multiple muscles are used while doing mountain climbers.
