Are You Going About Core Training All Wrong?

October 18, 2022 • Barpath Fitness • Season 1 • Episode 24

All about the core musculature, how to work it effectively, and why trendy core workouts don't work.

We talk our favorite core exercises that include flexion, extension, rotation, isometrics, and anti-rotation. We remind you that spot reduction doesn't exist, why you don't need to be doing one hundred crunches, and why breathing and bracing should be a main focus in large compound movements.
