Drills To Build A Strong Core

5/18/2017

 
Its a common mistake for people to associate a strong core with strong abs. Instead, think of your core as the muscles connecting your upper and lower body. No matter what you're doing (climbing, practicing yoga or cleaning your house), the motion to make those movements originates and/or moves through your core. Thus, a weak or inflexible core can significantly affect how well you move. This makes building up a strong core critical to crank up your power, performance, balance and stability. Below are six of my favorite drills to build a strong core. Photos and links are from YogaJournal.com. And,...if you're looking for a great flow sequence, give this Twisting Core Flow by Baptiste Yoga a try.  It'll kick your butt!
