Inner Core Training

Inner Core Training - Do you Want One?

Chances are you don't know what the inner core actually is!(Even though you'll train it pretty hard most training days)

Well, apparently it's the soft bit between the ribs and the pelvis(the pelvic floor, diaphragm etc)

Anyway I was talking to a friend of a friend (of a friend) who had completed some fitness instruction courses, who claimed they could show me loads of Inner Core Exercises, being the jolly chap that I am I just nodded and smiled and went along with it.

What I acually wanted to say was 'why the feck would I want to do 700 different 'inner bloody core' exercises when I can do a couple of lifts such as the deadlift and kettlebell swing which will immediately address any inner core weaknesses and and turn it to a fortress?'

Obviously, I'm a meathead and love lifting heavy things and no doubt some areas of my body are tight (especially my pocket being a Yorksireman) and could do with spending more time loosening up and working on such things, but as I don't have loads of time, I do what's neccessary to 'stay strong' most of the time.

Some of these exercises may be of some use to some people, but really much of it has been invented to take money out of your pocket and get you out of the house. This is why I'm a garage strongman.

Each to there own! Right! Where's that 80kg kettlebell I could do with some inner core training.
