This week we will be focusing on the muscles of the truck and learning to feel our abdominal muscles engage to support movement during exercise.
Core strength plays a pivotal role in enhancing overall health and daily functioning. The core encompasses the muscles in your abdomen, lower back, pelvis, and hips, therefore forms a vital support structure for your entire body.
Core strength exercises help prevent the development of bad postural habits that can lead to musculoskeletal problems. By improving balance and stability, and bolstering your ability to remain upright and steady in various situations will help reduce the risk of injury.
A strong core particularly supports your lower back, by evenly distributing load and forces throughout your body. Daily activities like lifting, bending, reaching, and twisting, heavily rely on your core muscles for ease in performing these tasks.
A robust core also enhances breathing efficiency, aids in digestion, and contributes to a more toned appearance. Incorporating core-strengthening exercises like those in this week’s workout will help you form the foundation for a healthier, and more functional life.
Live well with Health and WELLth!
