The Ab Wheel Rollout Anterior Core Stability The abdominals play an important role in anterior core stability. The abdominals posteriorly tilt the pelvis and flatten out the low-back. Good abdominal function is necessary to prevent anterior pelvic tilt and lumbar hyper-extension (see illustration B). This anti-extension role is crucial during deadlifting and overhead pressing. Illustration […]…
Glute Activation Exercises The quadruped hip extension is a great pre-workout exercise that activates the glutes from a quadruped position while training core stability. Anterior core stability is needed to maintain a neutral lumbar curve, rotary stability to prevent hip rotation, and lateral stability for balance. Incorporating core stability and glute activation exercises into your […]…
The Plank Roll Exercise Planks are a fundamental core stability exercise that can easily be incorporated into a warm-up. Planks train stability in all three planes – the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes – for anterior, lateral, and rotational stability. The front plank is an anti-extension exercise that trains the low-back to resist lumbar extension. […]…
