If you experience back,
neck pain at the end of the day from sitting too much or you are not able to
stay up straight for a long time you might have weak core muscles.
By core, I mean deeper
layers of abdominal, back and pelvic floor muscle. Theses muscles are the
primary holders of keeping our bodies erected.
For the one who wants to start working out, a strong core is a must.
Many cases of undiagnosed back pain often reflects the imbalances and weakness
of the core muscles. Here comes the picture to visualize the anatomy of these
important muscles.
As you may see, I am
not talking about rectus abdominus, which is in the outermost layer of the
abdominal wall. Core muscles is a group of tightly connected muscles in the
deepest layer of the musculature. These muscles are the closest attached to the
bones, and so they work as body stabilizers. It is like a structure of the
building where the construction has to be connected.
First, I invite you to
do a core strength test. Which you may find here

Don't get scared if you
don't go through the test, there is always room for improvement.
Second, I invite you to
watch my video where I demonstrate simple core strengthening exercises to start
with.
I hope you will find it
beneficial. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions, suggestions. I
am always open to the discussion.
