Move of the week: knee hovers to activate the core before strength training

Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: knee hovers.
You’ve probably heard of doing glute activation to fire up your butt muscles before running or lifting, but core activation is equally as important. That’s because the muscles in your midsection support your spine, pelvis and limbs as you move — and when lifting heavy weights, it’s crucial to have full-body control.
If you don’t know where to start with core activation, try these simple knee hovers.
