Advanced Core Series

The CORE muscles cover a large portion of the body when speaking generally about exercise and progressive training. The CORE musculature specifically surrounding the spine and pelvic girdle can be referred to as the local CORE. The CORE musculature we can see on the surface can be referred to as the global CORE. Differentiating the two may help develop control and engagement of CORE muscles throughout your list of favorite exercises.

Begin your CORE training mastering the local CORE muscle engagement and endurance on unstable surfaces. As you learn and master the basics, progressive movements and intensities will vary in order to continue to adapt. Great Posture is Core. Small movements CAN be CORE. Large movements CAN be CORE. Local CORE exercises examples are dead bug, plank, and supine bridge, progressions to follow.

The video attached is a sample of supine anterior chain exercises done at CESP. Each exercise can have progressions and various intensities. This is an advance exercise CORE series because these movements have been practiced and mastered individually and pain-free, allowing the movements to be done with high repetitions consecutively.
