Ball Core Training"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The longer I train (myself) and my clients,\u00a0the more and more I gravitate to bodyweight and bodyweight plus training.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Namely because I find people struggle to control their bodies in space against gravity.\u00a0 No matter what sport or work task people need to complete, they must be able to move, stabilize,\u00a0and resist and apply force effectively with respect to their body.<\/p>\n<p>I also find myself looking to integrate systemic, progressive and kinetic chain based core strengthening exercises for maximal efficacy.\u00a0 The lack of proper core stability and strength will often leave the back and other limbs of the body vulnerable to unwanted force dissipation.\u00a0 That means increased chance for injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Adding a stability ball (when you are ready) to\u00a0abdominal exercises will add spice to your routine and surely FIRE UP your core too!\u00a0 In today&#8217;s post, I want to share some pics of core based training\u00a0related to\u00a0my most recent column in <em>PFP Magazine<\/em>.\u00a0 Before I\u00a0share one of my favorite ball exercises with you, consider the following pre-requesite steps\u00a0before attempting this particular exercise:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Master floor based planks<\/li>\n<li>Master static stability ball planks<\/li>\n<li>Master static holds in hand supported plank position (balance\/stability)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pictured below\u00a0is the stability ball ab circles.\u00a0 This is great exercise for shoulder stability training and core activation.\u00a0 Trust me when I say you will feel it after 10 good slow reps.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_509\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
