In the last part of this series, I will discuss how the core applies to athletics and weightlifting. Until now, all the discussions have solely been about the core, controlling its position, and making it work dynamically as it should for specific core exercises; what about the transfer to higher level activities? How come some people say dedicated core training isn’t necessary because they squat and lift heavy? How come some people never do dedicated core training, but are good at sports and lift relatively heavy weights?
Today I will talk about how this transfers to everyday activities and movements. If you have back pain or have injured your back, these topics are some of the most practical, easiest ways to help decrease your back pain or reduce your risk for another episode back pain. If you don’t have back pain, these topics will help you understand how to reduce overall stress on your back which will improve recovery. It will also teach you to groove proper stability patterns for a large variety of situations, and it will enhance your positional awareness which will help you tweak your athletic endeavors to improve efficiency.
