Jim
Whittaker, the first American to climb Mt. Everest, once said,
"You never conquer the mountain, You only conquer yourself."
The same could be said for optimal fitness: You don't conquer
fitness. You only conquer your doubts about fitness.
Just
picture the chaos and epidemics we would face if our cities' sewer
were not maintained. They would back up into our streets and homes,
causing widespread infections and disease. The human body is not
different and most people have turned their digestive system into
a chaotic sewage system, causing a breeding ground of bacteria,
viruses, worms and toxic gas.
Core
training help to keep your digestive system in good shape. Without
the existence of muscular tone within the colon, the leakage of
toxic waste slowly begins to filter into the rest of the body
tissues.
There
are no magical foods that melt away excess body fat. To reduce
your weight and tone your body, you need to develop lean and strong
core muscles. When these muscles are firm and tight will not only
make you feel good internally, but it will actually make you appear
slim and tall. Strong core muscles help you look and feel more
attractive.
Facts:
Over
92% of people who own exercise equipment do not exercise.
Over 80% of people who own health club memberships do not
exercise.
Over 65% of people in North America are overweight or obese.
Back disorders are among the leading causes of disability
for people in their working years.
More than $36 billion is spent annually in the U.S. on weight
loss products. Dieting has led to many unhealthy misconceptions
about weight loss.
Reasons
Why People Are Overweight
Due
to the lack of daily exercises and core muscle strength,
the abdomen girdle becomes defective, it can no longer
support the internal organs. Constipation can cause
the large transverse colon to become enlarged and
heavy.
Due to the lack of core muscle strength, the abdominal
wall is not able to provide support, the colon, liver
and stomach begin to droop, putting abnormal pressure
on the rest of the digestive track and the underlying
uterus and bladder. This can lead to bad posture,
back pain and overweight problems.
Due
to our insatiable desire for quick, convenient energy
on the go, our streets are crammed with coffee, donuts,
and fast-food establishments. This is a quick short-term
energy solution through stimulation. However, consumption
of nutrient-deficient food can only occur for so long
before the body becomes either sick or constipated
due to the lack of nutrients to eliminate toxins and
to sustain health and fitness.
The large intestine
(colon) is a muscle. Therefore, if it lacks tone, every other
muscle and cell in the body will consequently also lack tone.
The
intent of Core Training
The intent of Core Training is to strengthen the muscle groups
that stabilize your skeletal structure. These are primarily the
muscles in the thoracic area that determine your posture in each
position of your body. The first step to improving your posture
is getting to know these muscles, then toning them so you can
tighten them independently of your lower back's muscles.Your core
muscles serve many vital functions that contribute to your overall
health. Let's take a look at key core functions in order to appreciate
the importance of core training exercises:
Foundation
for Movement - If your core does not function properly,
you'll most likely experience back and spinal pain, as well
as increased chances of injury.
Protection
of your Vital Systems - Your core provides a protective
shield for your spinal cord and internal organs. The core muscles
also function to keep your insides in, where they belong.
Improves Body Fluids - When your body moves and is exercised
from your core, the internal organs are mobilized and stimulated
from adhering together. It improves fluid flow through the organs
and is very helpful to maintaining normal bowel movement.
Enhance
Circulatory Support - When you exercise from your core,
pressure changes occur in the core muscles that assist the heart
and extremity muscles to circulate blood and lymphatic fluids
throughout the body.
Good
Body Posture and Body Stability - Your core muscles stiffen
the spine, rib cage and pelvic girdle so that your head, arms
and legs have stable working foundation. These muscles all work
in harmony to provide stabilization for your body and to transfer
power from the legs to the upper body and vice versa.

How
Does It work?
Optimal
fitness is the process of building mental and physical health
from the core of your body. The core is your entire torso,
including your internal organs. You can think of your core
as an action center.
When you have good core stability, the muscles in your pelvis,
lower back, hips and abdomen work in harmony. Your core provides
support to your spine for just about any mental or physical
activity.
Nearly every movement of your body involves the use of your
Abdominals, Obliques and/or Erector muscles. These muscles
are the core of all strength and power movements, as well
as the core muscular connection between your upper and lower
body.
The stronger these muscles are the more support and stability
they can provide for high productivity and creativity. If
these muscles are weak and unable to supply the stability
your body demands, injury is likely to occur and bad posture
will cause lack of mental concentration and premature aging
of your body.
Do
10 minutes or 15 minutes routine, depending on your time constraints.
With portable tools, now you can practice Core Training at
you office, hotel or home.
