Let’s get to the ‘Core’ of the matter. Many people are unaware that the core refers to so much more than your abdominal muscles. Hard Core Abs classes at Extreme Fitness focus on strengthening your entire core with sequences of both abdominal and back exercises. Zoning in on these areas while the rest of the body is fresh and free from the fatigue of a cardio or weight workout limits improper movement which could potentially lead to injury. Taking Hard Core Abs class can help you to strengthen your core, as well as to minimize lower back pain and poor posture! You may find elements from Pilates Mat classes combined with a hint of Ballet strength work incorporated into the class.
HOW HARD CORE ABS EXERCISE WILL HELP YOU
• By becoming aware of your core and its components, you can integrate its function more effectively into almost any activity you undertake. Whether carrying groceries, reaching for the top shelf, putting the little ones in their car seat, or even bending down to tie your shoes, your core is continually being called upon to support your body in countless different positions. If these muscles aren’t properly maintained, they can cause ongoing suffering and discomfort
• Strengthening your core will help your whole body to function efficiently. Like any great machine, the body must be maintained and serviced to ensure top-level performance. Taking Hard Core Abs classes are one way to ensure that you body’s “support system” is operating a peak efficiency
• A strong core means you can lift, bend, twist and fold your body easily and free from pain
• Being aware of your core helps you maintain correct body posture and alignment
• A strong core helps you to reduce fatigue
By being a regular participant in Extreme Fitness’s Hard Core Abs classes, you’ll be able to counteract the gravitational forces put on the body from everyday life. Long periods of sitting – at your desk, in front of a computer, while watching TV or even while dining – can all have a detrimental effect on your body and your posture. With poor alignment, your abdominal and other supportive muscles in the core become de-conditioned and unable to handle the rigors of everyday movement. That’s when chronic back pain may take hold. By exercising your core, you can work to eliminate ongoing pain, as well as ward off potential problems down the road, particularly as you age with time.
