WHAT ARE THE CORE & CORE STRENGTH?
The "core" is the torso, extending from the shoulders to the pelvis. It is the body's centre of power, which is why exercise specialists will often refer to it as “the powerhouse”. When we refer to core strength, it is the intrinsic muscles that lie deep within the torso. These muscles attach to the spine and pelvis and include the transversus abdominis, and the muscles of the pelvic floor in the lower portion of the torso and the latissimus dorsi and obliques in the middle and upper torso. Many experts also include the muscles that surround the scapula (shoulder blades) as key core muscles because of their stabilising role of the shoulder complex.
Movement power and stability originate in your core. In addition to being the source of powerful, centred movement, the core muscles also provide a strong base of stability. The muscles of the core hold the body stable and balanced, whether it is stationary or in dynamic motion and a strong core means a more efficient, functional, powerful & better performing body.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THIS MASTERCLASS?
Virginie will take you on a journey from learning how to engage your core muscles properly on their own to firing your “powerhouse” accordingly when moving your limbs. We will look at a progression of core exercises from mat work to unstable surfaces and added resistance, from stationary to dynamic, fusing core exercises with full body conditioning.
Virginie’s aim is to invite you progressively and safely to get out of your comfort zone, finding & pushing your own limits, connecting with and strengthening your body on a deeper level while still having fun.
ALL WELCOME! No experience of core training is required and all levels of strength & fitness are welcome as all exercises will be broken down into increasing levels of difficulty, allowing each attendee to work at a level that suits them. Please make the Teacher aware of any health/physiological conditions prior to booking as some exercises may not be suitable.
