To build a strong core involves exercising a variety of muscles from your hips to your shoulders. The core is more than a nice six-pack, or strong, toned abs; the abdominal muscles are a very small part of the core.

Hello Harold,
I also have my client/s do “knee ups” into a “cuved hand held defensive kick bag/sheild”. Quite effective and they love it!

Sincerely,
Michael

Yes. I find this is where most are weak. I personally believe the anterior chain on most is overworked.

Well, the core in my definition includes hips and shoulder girdle. Thus, according to the results of the assessment, we work on those areas with emphasis, if necessary, on the weak links. And I agree with Joanne: the anterior chain is often overworked.

Yes. When I have clients work on their core we include the hips and gluteals.

As Joanne stated, I often find either weak glutes, tight hip flexors or both in most of my clients.

Yes! It’s always a compromise, right! The client knows what they want but not always what they need. Agreed that assessments show the needs…what’s tight, what’s weak and where to begin and create the balance that will create the best results. Often that’s releasing tight hips and upper back before layering on wake up calls in the way of strength for gluteal amnesia and stabilization via the multifidus and overall bracing. Then it’s a matter of assessing what their life or sport needs are individually before progressing to a full program.
