Hello Everyone!
Core is all the craze right now, but in all honestly, core stability is the real deal.
Read that again, core stability is the real deal.
I didn't say six-pack abs are the real deal.
I didn't say 1,000 crunches are the real deal.
I didn't say ab machines are the real deal.
Core stability is the real deal.
Athlete's Transverse Abdominis (TA) need to be strong and stable. If you can't stabilize your core you CAN'T get the most out of your movement. Whether that is running, jumping, or playing your sport (just to name a few).
How do you develop a healthy stable TA? You have to do the "non-sexy" core exercises such as core bridges, hip pops, glute bridges, side core bridges, etc.
Focus your core training on stabilization to hit the hidden TA, stop wasting your time doing crunches.
Keep Training!

Your playing career will end when everyone else is faster and stronger than you.
