CORE MUSCLE TRAINING AND EVERYDAY LIFE
In our everyday life, we regularly use our core muscles to perform daily activities. Activities from sports to numerous work-related tasks involving either sitting or carrying loads.
That is why it is necessary to learn to hold the body correctly and stabilize the spine. It is necessary to facilitate daily activities, reduce the risk of injuries, and give a sense of self-confidence. The strength of the deep central muscles of the core, as well as the lower back, allows us to easily and safely carry out daily tasks such as working in the garden, lifting a heavy load, or carrying a child, etc.
The central core muscle structure is part of the body that connects the abdomen to the lower back and hips. The abdominal region together with the deep muscles of the back gives strength and enables the smooth performance of all movements.
However, the most important thing is to pay attention to the correct performance of the exercises. Otherwise, an injury may occur. Although it is important to exercise the core muscles, a strong contraction can disrupt the function of the diaphragm. This alone can reduce breathing efficiency.
The benefits of developing core muscles are also important when sitting at a desk:
-they keep the lumbar part of the spine stable,
-enable correct posture when sitting,
-prevent hunching of the shoulders.
When lifting a load, the core muscles
-give mobility to the neck, spine, and shoulders
-stability of the upper spine and shoulder girdle
-good lifting technique
-the risk of injuries to the lower part of the spine decreases.
The benefits of developing core muscles are important even while using the phone. They reduce the risk of pain and injury to the cervical and lumbar spine.
They are also important when carrying bags. They provide stability to the spine from lateral forces and the risk of injury.
When lifting a baby, these muscles provide stability in the lumbar part of the spine under the action of lateral and rotational forces, pride in good posture, and reduce the risk of pain and injuries to the lower part of the spine.
Performing all daily activities requires strong core muscles. And when working in the garden and in the household, and even when driving a car.
