This photo captures the importance of core strength when it comes to excellence in performance. Imagine how hard it is to sprint at maximum speed across a tennis court and then slow down in time to set the legs and the rest of the body and importantly the head, to then swing a racquet and make perfect contact. That is a strong core in action.

Check out this article for a great description of exactly what the core is, how to train it and importantly, why training it is vital for some many things in life including dealing with back pain.

Fitness Tips

Wouldn’t it be nice?

The keys to success with strength training, once you respect the principle of never hurting yourself, can be found in two major guiding principles. Progressive overload and consistency. You need to gradually but surely increase the challenge or your body will have nothing to adapt to and obviously if you aren’t consistent, then the results won’t be there either. Unfortunate factoid: You can’t store either fitness or strength. Hence the advice above. Don’t stop, once you start.
