Core conditioning programs can improve some of the areas that are placed under stress during and after pregnancy such as:
neck and shoulder pain
pelvic floor instability and
lower back pain.
Core training does not simply refer to the strengthening of your muscles around your abdominals.
Core Training is also referred to as:
· Lumbar stabilization
· Dynamic Stability or Balance
· Trunk Stabilisation
· Neural Spine Control
This does not just include your abdominal musculature or your “six pack” but includes 29 pairs of muscles that balance and stabilize the trunk and pelvic area.
This four sided structure includes some of the following musculature
· Front: Abdominal muscles; Tranverse Abdominals , Obliques, Inter-costal muscles
· Back : Gluteals and paraspinal muscles
· Top: The Diaphragm and Inter-costal Muscles
· Bottom: Pelvic floor Muscles
All the Kidfit 8 week parent programs work on strengthening these muscles whilst working on improving cardiovascular fitness through multiple short bouts of exercise.
