Welcome to another weekend short of The Matter Over Mind Experience.
I am Master Trainer & Weight Management Expert, Narado Zeco Powell
This weekend, I will discuss something that we often overlook, core strength.
Please also listen to my interview with Dr. Matt Chalmers as we discussed core strength & other habits to limit & prevent injuries.
I will also tell you some of my favorite core exercises
Before I begin, remember to visit The Zeco Recommendation Page for products I recommend for health, fitness & fat-loss.
The link is in the show-notes & the description of the episode.
Let’s begin
First, I will explain what our core actually is.
We often think of our abs as our core, but actually, our core includes all our muscles attached to our spine & pelvis.
Developing core strength and stability enables us to maximize our power output and perform complex movements that require coordination, balance, and technical skills.
Additionally, focusing on core strength can help us stabilize other weak areas to reduce the risk of injury.
Your core stabilizes your body, allowing you to move in any direction as well as having proper balance.
It helps prevent falls and supports your body.
So having a strong core is beneficial to everyone because it allows your body to function properly.
On the other hand, If you have a weak core, you are missing the link in the armor for your body.
When we have a weak core, we begin to see our ability to move become harder and our risk of injury increases.
Here are some of my favorite core exercises:
- Planks
- Flutter kicks
- Reverse Crunch
- Bicycle
- Sit ups
I recommend doing these or a variation 3 to 4 days weekly.
Yoga is also a great way to strengthen your core.
There it is. Enjoy the weekend fam!
