Welcome to Strong Core Series #2 If your core (torso) is not strong, your performance, posture and even energy level will all suffer. Your core is made up of 35 different muscles groups - not just your abs! Some are located deep in your trunk and extend from the base of your head to your pelvis. When movement is first initiated - like walking and jumping - the first muscle group recruited is the deep core muscles. This intermediate workout session can be used throughout your training week or even in conjunction with your dynamic warm-up. Your core muscles go well beyond just flexing your spine. This group of muscles are needed to stabilize your body, laterally flex, extend and rotate your body. These muscles are used in ADL’s and every movement you do in the gym or during your home workout. TRAINING ROUTINE 6 core exercises that are performed as supersets (2 sets performed back to back w/o rest) before moving to the next group of exercises. Be Well & Stay Strong!
