The 3 Best Exercises for a Strong Core!

Core training (often mistaken for 'ab' training) can be broken down into three distinct types:

The 1st is isometric tension - this means being able to brace and maintain a position

The second is rotation or "moving strength", your body is designed to bend, twist and throw and it's important to be able to maintain control while moving.

The third is anti rotational - the ability to stop yourself from being pull out of position. If your body cannot resist an external force pulling it in any direction then you are really lacking in core strength!

There is actually a fourth but we are going to leave that for another video.

Using these 3 core concepts you have unlimited drills to build on and strengthen each variation!

Here are a few examples of my favourites:

For Isometric strength, we will use the plank - this teaches bracing and how to keep a neutral spine when lifting

Our rotational example will be ball twists, the main thing here is to always feel that you are using your core muscles to rotate here and not just spinning or twisting

And for an anti rotational exercise we'll use the Palof Press. It is crazy important to feel equal on both sides with this movement to avoid tons of bad stuff, such as one side of you caving in when you lift - the ankle, knee and shoulder will all follow if there is any weakness in your core!

If you use all of these exercises in your training, you will feel pretty awesome and run in to a lot less problems. Remember that core training is more than just sit ups, so keep these 3 types in mind next time you fancy a core workout.

Can you guess what the fourth type of core strength is?
