iCore

The intent of core training is to strengthen the muscle groups that stabilize the skeletal structure. Those are mainly all the muscles in the abdominal and lower back areas. These muscles are the CORE of all strength and power movements, as well as the muscular connection between your upper and lower body. The core muscles also function to keep your insides in, where they belong!

Weak core muscles contribute to all kinds of problems in the body, the most prevalent of which is lower back pain. By strengthening the muscles that help support the spine and improve posture, you can dramatically decrease the symptoms of lower back pain.

Our core training helps to get you 'in touch' with individual muscles and small groups of muscles. This awareness of specific muscles, or muscle groups is the first step in improving various posture and form issues

Even basic push-ups and pull-ups can constitute core-strengthening exercises because, unlike workouts done on elaborate machinery in gyms, body-weight-bearing exercises involve proprioception  and balance.
