Core Workout Routines Reviewed
I don't think people realize how much we use our core! A core workout routine can be highly beneficial to every movement we do in life. Everything comes from the core of the body. Here, I will review some of the core workouts, and you can decide for yourself which core workout might be best for you.
Core workouts is a bit of a catch phrase in fitness right now, and many people are catching on to it. But, the significance of these types of routines is even more than people realize. Every movement, even picking up your groceries, comes from the core.
Yoga - Yoga is mostly core! Every movement in yoga relies on the core muscles. Yoga is an excellent fitness program on many levels. It helps to gain flexibility, as well as strength and muscle endurance. The other thing about Yoga that is so interesting, is all of the different help benefits. It's said to regulate heart rate, and much more. I had one yoga instructor explain it to me like this.
He said, "Yoga massages your internal organs." I have taken several yoga classes, and you will be in a pose and hear the teacher say, "This is opening up your adrenal glands." It's a fascinating practice and good for people of all ages. It can be a great core workout on it's own, or a great addition to your current exercise practices.
Boxing - Boxing seems like it may be your arms, but, it's not! My arm by itself can be quite weak, but, when I throw my body into it (my core!), that same punch becomes much, much more powerful. This is a great workout for anyone wanting to increase their health.
Many trainers are now discovering the emotional benefits to boxing as well. It can be quite empowering for people, and many of my clients have discovered that they get a great emotional release from putting the boxing gloves on and giving the heavy bag a piece of their mind.
After a great workout, they gain a sense of calm, and general well being. And besides all of that, who wouldn't want the amazing, great physique of a boxer? They are agile, quick, powerful, and strong
