Shilpa Shetty’s inspiring workout

On Monday, Shilpa took to Instagram to share a glimpse of her intense workout session. She posted a video of herself performing Gliding Knee Tucks, captioning it, “Core’s on fire, but so is my determination 💪🏻🏋🏻‍♀️.”

Highlighting the benefits of the exercise, she added, “Works on core strength (not for beginners!). Strong core, strong body – because it all starts from within. Are you ready to test your core strength? Challenge thrown to you!”.

How to perform gliding knee tucks

• Starting position: Begin in a high plank position with both feet placed on sliders, towels, or socks (anything that allows your feet to glide smoothly on the floor).
• Engage your core: Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels, ensuring your hands are directly under your shoulders.
• Tuck the knees: Using your core strength, slide your feet forward by bending your knees toward your chest.
• Extend back: Slowly push your feet back to the starting plank position while maintaining control and stability.
• Repeat: Perform the movement for the desired number of reps while keeping your core tight and avoiding hip sagging.

Benefits of gliding knee tucks:

• Strengthens the core muscles (abs, obliques, lower back).
• Improves stability and balance by engaging multiple muscle groups.
• Enhances shoulder and upper body endurance as they support your weight.
• Works on hip flexor mobility and lower body control.
