Why is this important?

Because core training is very cool and in case you missed out on your opportunity to get the program last time he offered a special, you have just 3 days to take advantage on this one.

Not only that, I’ve been doing some of these core training exercises and, I have to tell you, I LOVE them! And so do the players I work with…and so do my kids. My kids are 12, 9, 7, 4, and 18 months and they ALL try to copy the workouts when I’m doing them. Yes, even the 18 month old. She sees us doing planks and push-ups and she tries to copy us. It’s so cute! Anyway – the point is, one of the best things about core training is that it’s so much FUN.

It’s one of the only types of workouts I never had to push players (or my kids) to do. They just jump in and start. Not to mention the numerous benefits of training your core.

Here Are 7 Great Reasons to do Core Training

1.  The core is comprised of nearly 30 different muscles that basically wrap around your body in the area between your hips and rib cage. This area connects your upper and lower body so it can
function as one (which means more power and quickness). …crunches ain’t gonna do the job.

2.  Hitting and Pitching power comes from the core….The core is fundamental to all body movement. You hardly make a movement without engaging your core whether it be walking up the stairs or bending down to pick something up.

3. Hitting Posture? Pitching Posture?…A strong core provides balance and stability, a necessity in athletic movement.

4. Your core is the basis for all athletic movement. When you hit, throw, twist, swing or run you are relying on core strength to transfer power.

5. A strong core reduces your chances of low back injury which is quite common, especially in softball players and pitchers.

6. Your core includes both abdominal muscles and lower back muscles..front side core muscles don’t do the job.

7. If your core is weak, your movements will be weak and you will not reach your full athletic potential = no power or velocity
