Inhaltsangabe

The hottest, most sought-after fitness program today, core fitness training focuses on the tranversus abdominus, a deep abdominal muscle that is crucial to maintaining lumbar spine strength. As recommended by sport scientists, physiotherapists, and osteopaths, maintaining core stability through core training strengthens weak muscles and imbalances originating inside the body. This book instructs on the most effective stretches, poses, and workouts, taken from a range of fitness principles that include yoga, Pilates, t’ai chi, and weight training. The end result is an all-around workout of core muscles with benefits that include—

  • An increase of energy and stamina
  • Improved posture
  • Reduction and often elimination of lower back pain
  • A more trim, better looking body
  • Increased muscle strength
  • A boost in the body’s flexibility

    The author’s recommended workouts focus on virtually all parts of the body. Detailed exercise instruction is enhanced with more than 100 how-to color photos.

    [back cover]
    Fitness fads come and go, but one habit you should pick up and stay with for a lifetime is core training. Strengthening your body’s core muscles—those muscles that keep you upright, and which are located around the abdomen and spine—increases flexibility and joint mobility. It also ensures good posture as you go about your day-to-day activities. Keeping your core strong is vital because core muscles come into play nearly every time you move.

    Drawing the best exercises for core strengthening from regimens such as yoga, Pilates, weight training, and fit ball, Total Core Fitness is your handbook for building a healthy core, no matter whether you’re 16 or 60. It’s about the quality of your exercise, not the quantity. Total Core Fitness will help you feel fitter and perform all normal daily activities with ease. Improved health, well-being, strength, and flexibility are all within your reach.
