Legs and Core Balance, Stability & Strength Your leg muscles, quadriceps, and hamstrings are anatomically connected to your pelvis and spine. Any imbalances in strength, tension, and length directly impact your pelvis and spine that are primary core skeletal foundation. In this lesson, we cover the basics of balancing the strengths, tensions, and length in your … [Read more...] about Lesson 7 | Cycle Three | Exercise Two | Leg & Core Balance, Stability & Strength

Lesson 6 | Cycle Three | Exercise One | Power & Stability Generation
Power & Stability Generation A comprehensive and effective core training includes a synergistic approach to enhance the connection between different muscle groups that must work together. In this lesson, we briefly look at the role glutes play in core training. Glutes and abs connection The four layers of your abdominal muscles in front, to the side and around your waist … [Read more...] about Lesson 6 | Cycle Three | Exercise One | Power & Stability Generation
Lesson 5 | Cycle Two | Exercise Two | Transverse Plane | Function | Speed | Power
Transverse Plane Motions In previous lessons, we covered sagittal and frontal plane movements. This video is an introduction to the third plane of motion which is called transverse plane of motion. Movements in the transverse plane are rotational motions that bring speed and power to most sports activities and functionality to your day-to-day activities. Transverse … [Read more...] about Lesson 5 | Cycle Two | Exercise Two | Transverse Plane | Function | Speed | Power
Lesson 4 | Cycle Two | Exercise One | Frontal Plane Motions
Frontal Plane Motions Movements of the last cycle were in the sagittal plane. The sagittal plane motions are a good start since most of what you do in life is within that plane. However, side to side tensions and movements as well as resisting side to side forces influence and sometimes derail the forward motions. In this lesson, we cover side to side actions … [Read more...] about Lesson 4 | Cycle Two | Exercise One | Frontal Plane Motions
Lesson 3 | Cycle One | Exercise Two | Releasing Tensions
Releasing Tensions A significant part of physical training is effectively working with tension and its various manifestations. In this lesson, we cover a few primary aspects of tension. Benefits of Tension The way tension is often used has a negative connotation. The mindset that always views tension as a bad thing misses some fundamental benefits of tension and their … [Read more...] about Lesson 3 | Cycle One | Exercise Two | Releasing Tensions
