Strengthen your core with a pillow?
In case you missed it, (Shame on you!) during last week’s episode of The Biggest Loser, Jillian mentioned using pillows as part of your workout routine. While attempting many of the shows challenges at home is probably not a good idea, i.e., holding on for dear life to a platform suspended above water, using pillows to improve balance and engage the core muscles is less terrifying and definitely trying. The core, which includes all the muscles found around the trunk of your body, is not only essential for good balance, but it is also crucial for protecting your back from injuries when exercising or performing daily activities.
