Coaching : weak core muscles

Author: michaelbSubject: weak core musclesPosted: 27 September 2011 at 10:50pmToo often I see people in the gym performing crunch after crunch to try and improve core strength.  Studies have proven this to be dangerous for the spine and an ineffective way to train the core. The core’s main function is to stabilize or prevent movement. This is not to say that flexion or extension should be totally neglected because you do need to have this type of core strength especially if you are a sports person.Check out this article for more on this topic and see the video below of some core strength exercise progressions that you can incorporate into your workouts. http://www.strengthspeedagility.com/core-training-best-core-strength-exercises/Core Strength and Stability Rollout Progression - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbWCgrN7UwUCore Training Anti Lateral Flexion (Landmine) -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZcTiM-aZ58
