Iso Fit Hong Kong offers
many exciting options which will help you to develop a strong core.
Core strength is talked about quite frequently these days, tossed around
on various social media platforms- however many people have little or
no knowledge about how to develop and build their core strength! Below
we will provide some basic knowledge about what core strength is all
about- and more importantly how you can develop it.
The
abdomen consists of four different groups of muscle. There is the
rectus abdominis that is frequently referred to as your “six-pack”, the
internal obliques, external obliques, and the transversus abdominis
which is the deepest layer of abdomen muscles. You must give equal focus
towards building each individual layer because it is very important to
give adequate support to the spine as well as help in the development of
healthy movements. Pilates exercises include these major components,
along with strengthening the diaphragm and pelvic floor. These four
muscle groups combine to form what is popularly referred to as the
“Power House”. Lots of time and practice is needed to learn how to
activate the Power House, but successful practitioners will achieve a
very strong full-body support system, aka, -you guessed it- A Strong
Core!
In
order to strengthen the abdominals, there are major groups of muscles
which play a crucial role in offering support to the entire spine and
pelvic region. These include the inner thigh muscles and glutes, which
help in wrapping the low back and the hip, also we have the muscles
covering the shoulder blades which provide protection to our shoulders.
When we work to create significant awareness of these individual muscle
groups, and we are able to put them in an actively working state, it
promotes better posture and overall mobility to the whole body.
In
addition, Pilates will help you become more flexible, as you gradually
work on increasing your range of motion, which will promote safe
movement not only in athletics but also in everyday life. By focusing on
becoming aware of your body, increasing flexibility and building your
core strength, you will also reduce your risk of injury and be able to
“bounce back” faster, due to the rehabilitation benefits of Pilates.
Having
a strong core is so much more than having “perfect abs”. It means
focusing on and building all your supporting muscles that help protect
the spine, pelvis, and joints of the body, along with creating a proper
balance between strength and flexibility.
