Real Core Training

Core training is definitely one of those concepts that drives a lot of attention. We could talk for hours on all the neuroscience information available along with the spinal stabilization research. However, if you are not coming off of direct spinal surgery you can perform true core training. My belief in working with thousands of people is that the core is really about preventing movement more than it is creating it. In fact, at a recent seminar I heard world renown strength coach, Mike Boyle, echo my same sentiment.

There are many ways to challenge the core with such concepts. However, you want to make sure to integrate the low back and hips if you are going to perform real core training. Just working the abdominal area makes for an incomplete program. Try these exercises depicted below and let me know how your "core" feels! Just one in a workout will give you a whole new respect for Sandbag Core Training!
