Core stabilization is super important – in keeping with out theme here is exercise #2.\u00a0 Please watch the video below click the words “Bird Dog\u00a0” that are underlined and a video screen will pop up.\u00a0 This is the weird name of the exercise… once you get your legs going and it is easy for you, for an increased challenge add the opposite arm.\u00a0 For an even more difficult exercise hold for 10 or more seconds in each posture.<\/p>\n

Bird Dog<\/a><\/p>\n

The important thing to know here is that one side will be harder to do than the other side.\u00a0 You will want to cheat when raising one of your legs and drop your hip to achieve it.\u00a0 This is because the gluteus medius is weak or not activated and this exercise helps us reactivate it.\u00a0 This in turn also turns on the Transversus Abdominus muscle… that is all chiro speak for core stabilization.\u00a0 These muscles, if strong, lead to more stable cores and less back pain.\u00a0 So just do it already!<\/p>\n

As always, if you have pain, stop.\u00a0 If you have questions, please call me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Happy Stabilizing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
