Build a Foundation
If you try to stack weight on something that is foundationally unstable the result is a rickety, swaying tower that could collapse at any moment.
Through core strengthening you can reinforce that foundation with stronger muscles across the front and back of your body. This will create new levels of tension and stability to support greater amounts of weight during exercise. Often times the core is associated solely with the abdominal muscles. However, in this program, the core is defined as any muscle that connects the ribcage, spine, pelvis, and shoulder blades together.
Start from the ground up!
Upon joining any "Build a Foundation" program you will find progressively challenging exercises that target every muscle of your core. These movements will teach you a valuable lesson on initiating movement through the pelvis, spine, ribcage, and shoulder blades to properly and efficiently strengthen these muscles.
Starting now, let's make it a priority to move with better intention, challenge your mind, and finally find some real core strength!
