PRINCIPLE #7 - DEVELOP CORE STRENGTH

The core, otherwise known as the “powerhouse” is the center of all-ground base and extremity movements in the human body. It stands to reason that if the core is weak, then all extremity and ground base movements will not perform at optimum levels of performance. The core, consisting of a multitude of muscles, coordinates these muscles to work in all planes of motion: sagittal, frontal, and transverse. The core acts as a shock absorber and is the foundation of kinesthetic movement in the human body, without it, no movement can occur.
