The core ought to be engaged in any type of movement. This is where movement originates from.

It is important to remember what the core is. The core is all the muscles that are attached to the axial skeleton and dynamic movement involves large rhythmic movements that involve not only the muscles of the core but muscles involved in the activity to be performed.

The Core can be engaged at any time, it's a matter of learning how to engage it.

As always, I ask Why? If there is a reason you believe the core should be engaged during the warm up and you can explain it to your class or clients, it's always a bonus!

The short answer is "yes," the core is definitely engaged in dynamic warm-up movements. The general focus of dynamic warm-up is to increase the ROM and internal temperature to prepare us for the activity to come. Most dynamic warm-up involves the large muscles of the body and thus the core. Since dynamic warm-up requires movement, and most movement involves (generally speaking) the core, the answer is yes (at least in most instances).

Hello Ashley,

Yes, I do. The "core" is naturally engaged and we focus on it to keep proper form.
Take care.

Great answers. Any time you are moving your "core" is engaged.
Focus on it. It only takes a little bit of practice.
