While carrying groceries, a child or luggage (especially in one hand) can target your core, there are other everyday activities you shouldn't count out. Holly Roser, NASM, CPT, certified personal trainer and owner of Holly Roser Fitness Studios in New York City and San Francisco, adds that other activities, including walking uphill, can also successfully engage your core. “Walking uphill requires stabilization of your trunk, causing your core to activate more than walking on flat ground," she says.
How to Maximize This Everyday Activity

That said, Keith Hodges, NASM, CPT, a Los Angeles-based performance coach and certified personal trainer, notes that you want to ensure you’re taking diaphragmatic breaths and are sure not to push your body (especially if it hasn’t recovered or is in recovery mode). Roser adds that the same diaphragmatic breaths should go for uphill or incline walking too.
