Got a core? 🫵 Here’s how to activate and strengthen ALL of those core muscles! 💥
Want to get into that re**us abdominis (RA)? That will entail double flexing the spine (flexion of thoracic and lumbar spines). To hit one side at a time, laterally tilt–think shortening the distance between hip and rib. 💪
Next up, obliques! With a neutral spine, laterally tilt to one side, then rotate both left and right.🔥That will get you working both the internal and external oblique muscles.
Did you think we were done? 👀 Absolutely not! The core extends all the way around. When you double extend the spine, you target the erector spinae muscles. To target one side or the other and get more quadratus lumborum (QL) engagement, you will again add in that lateral tilt.
How about that deep corset muscle, the transverse abdominis? 💯 We’ve got you there too! Fully exhale and feel that muscle contract.
