| What is Core Body Strength? |
| Core Strength The Core muscles would include the External and Internal Obliques, Rectus Abdominis, Transversus Abdominis, Iliospoas, Quadratus Lumborum and some deeper muscles of the spine. The balance in the strength of these muscles keep the pelvic region in balance. Of course, the erector muscles of the back are very important too. Much of the imbalance in the back begins with imbalance in the pelvic region. Some knee, ankle, shoulder and neck pain can begin from in-balance in the pelvic region. Most people work their abdominal muscles and they do not work their Transversus Abdominis. The Transversus Abdominis muscle is the major stabilizer of the lower back. Many things we do in our daily life depends on this muscle to stabilize our low back so we don't get injured. When the Tranversus Abdominis muscle is weak and not performing it's job it was created to do, other muscles try to do it's job. This is one of the big reasons for low back strain. Have you been seeing people sitting on the big balls and standing on balance boards or discs as they perform exercises? These are great techniques to strengthen the CORE muscles and a fun way too. Having core strength along with having your whole body toned will leave you feeling strong and solid. Core strength makes a person better at all sports at any age. Shaquille O'neal and Laird Hamilton are two of the many professional sport players that are great examples and speak of Core strength. Visualise the core of an apple. It's solid and it keeps the apple together. That is our spine and the core muscles surrounding our torso, keeping everything working together. There is so much to say about the importance of CORE work. It makes your workouts more fun and you gain core strength while strengthening the whole body. You will burn more calories before and after your work outs and you will burn more calories sustaining the muscles. It's a win win!! Tracy's Personal Training 714-843-9002 |
