Body/Core Conditioning
The body's core muscles are the foundation for all other movement. The muscles of the torso stabilise the spine and provide a solid foundation for movement in the extremities.
Training the muscles of the core also corrects postural imbalances that can lead to injuries. The biggest benefit of core training is to develop functional fitness - that is, fitness that is essential to both daily living and regular activities.
The main concepts of core strengthening programs involve using many muscles in a coordinated movement.
Rather than isolating a specific joint as in most weight lifting, stability exercises focus on working the deep muscles of the entire torso at once.
Abdominal bracing is the main technique used during core exercise training. It refers to the contraction of the abdominal muscles.
