Description
Core strength is built from the inside out.
The core consists of the diaphragm, pelvic floor, abdominals and back muscles. Functionally they surround the spine from various directions, keeping the spine stable and support movements in all planes. The core muscles divide into stabilisers(deep layers) and superficial mobilisers. Correct breathing and activation are crucial parts of a strong core.
Correct alignment:
360 breathing pattern
Equal right and left strength
Neutral pelvis
Common issues:
Shallow breathing and lack of pelvic floor activation
Overactive upper abdominals
Rib cage alignment
