Thank you for wanting to know more about this ‘buzz’ word. Where ever you go these days, it is all about your ‘core’ (insert demon emoji). The fitness industry and even allied health professionals tell you that if you have any kind of back pain or weakness that you have to work your ‘core’. This is not exactly true… but that is whole other discussion! So people hop on the ‘core’ mantra… ‘my core is weak’, ‘ I need to build core strength’ but they often have no idea how to do this! What is your actual ‘Core?”
This video will help explain to you that your Core is actually quite complex. It involves breathing diaphragmatically, using your pelvic floor and other muscles together to create a pressure which will hold you up from the inside. Clear as mud?
Watch the video and hopefully you can join the dots to understand your core and what it feels like to actually work it properly.
