Question:
I signed up at my gym for a half-hour core program 3X per week. What will I be doing and how will it help me? (Isabella, Freeport).
Answer:
Here are the basics of a core program. Hopefully, your class will address:
- Abdominal exercises
- Lower back exercises
- Glute exercises
- Muscles that stabilize the hips
- Deep inner muscles which help support the spine
As a result, you will experience an improvement with:
Flexion – Bending forward movement,
Extension – Bending backwards and
Rotation – Side to side turns. A core workout will strengthen your personal movement patterns. The way you move in daily life will improve.
