Video 682 | Deep Core Strength (45 minutes) with Lauren Eirk
7 Day Fitness Plan
•
26-May-2025
In this workout, we will use various resistance training techniques to improve spinal stability in order to target the deep core. This region consists of the transverse abdominis, pelvic floor, deep paraspinal muscles, and the diaphragm.
Learn how to engage the deep core even when performing compound movements such as the squat, RDL, glute bridge, including many core exercises with dumbbells. This is a progression from bodyweight training, and your joint range of motion may change.
Learning how to pick up heavier objects without straining the pelvic floor is crucial. It is common for athletes to strain the deep core muscles, even sometimes leading to bladder prolapse. Learn how to engage the transverse abdominis, stabilize the spine, and utilize deep diaphragmatic breath to protect yourself.
