Core muscle training helps improve posture and reduce chronic back pain. Core muscles stabilize the spine and pelvis.  They run the entire length of your torso and form a solid base of support for all movement. - Marjorie Jaffe

NYC Core Exercise Classes Located in Midtown Manhattan New York City 10019

Perhaps the term, Core Exercise Training came from a Tree Core to show how stable core exercises keep you.  Our arms and legs are extremities that are supported by a strong core, or center.  Core strength refers to the muscles which stabilize and move the trunk of the body. The primary muscles we train in our Core Training Classes in NYC are the abdominals, the gluteal and lower back muscles.  We know that strengthening these muscle alter your stability and balance.
  • Core muscles stabilize the spine and pelvis.  They run the entire length of you torso and form a solid base of support for all movement.
  • We use our core muscles to stand straight and for all of our movements. We include core training in all of our exercise classes because of how important they are to keep our body stable and working correctly.
  • If you're lifting heavy weights, you need stability in your core muscles to prevent injury and to maximize your workout.

New York City Core Exercise Classes
Without using the core muscles, your body would sway, thus, eliminating the safety and effectives of this arm strengthening exercise. All the energy you exert originates in your trunk before it’s transferred to your arms and legs.  With a weak core, your arm and leg strength suffers. Our Core Training Classes in NYC help improves your posture.  So, as you can see, Core Training Exercises are an important part of any training program.

We use a fitness ball for some of the exercises, but you can strengthen your abs without any equipment.  Remember, whenever you’re doing abdominal work, you must keep your abs pulled in so your back muscles stretch out.  We use thick exercise mats, but if you’re trying this without a mat, you can do it on a firm bed or put a couple of bed quilts on a carpeted floor and use that to lie on.
Abdominal Training Classes in NYC

We concentrate on tightening the muscles in all of our abdominal exercise classes. The difference is that during our abdominal training we teach you where each abdominal muscle is and how it feels when it’s working correctly.  That way, you can pull in your abs all the time without holding your breath to have your abs looks flatter.

You can even use your breath to keep your abs pulled in.  As you breathe in through your nose, feel your ribs lift and spread out.  But then, as you breathe out through your mouth, feel your ribs lower and pull in.  Notice when you breathe out, how your abs sink in.  You are exercising the upper abdominal muscles that attach to your ribcage.  So exhaling and lowering the ribs is one way to keep your abs pulled in.

Toned abdominal muscles look great and help keep your back healthy.  We do abdominal training because we need these muscles for support.  When they are taut and strong, they take all the pressure off the back, which no longer has to do their job for them. These are the abdominal muscles we focus on:
  • Rectus muscle – Vertically up and down the belly, it ties to each rib and the pubic bone.  When this muscle is firm, your stomach doesn’t sag.  Draw your ribs together and feel the hard muscle between them.
  • Oblique muscles – Diagonal muscle band that crisscross at the navel.  The upper two attach from the ribs to the navel, and the lower two go from the hips to the belly.  These muscles keep your body narrow, avoiding that “middle-age spread”.
  • Transverse muscle – A two inch band across the waist.  Slide your hand from side to side to feel this horizontal indentation.  You work this muscle if your were to squeeze in to make your belt one hold tighter. 

With abdominal training, our exercises will develop strength in the abs in very little time. Everyone wants a flatter stomach (the stomach is an internal organ, but we take license and call the abdominals, “the stomach”).  Women, who have never had a stomach before, all of a sudden notice one. Men are less aware because they’re less sensitive of making a bigger hole in their belt or going up a size.  But this unawareness catches up with men when they have to slip their belt lower than their belly.
