Strength Your Core with F.I.R.E.
When people think of core, often they just think of the 6-pack.
BUT what most people don't realize, is that your core wraps around your entire trunk (belly).
Here's what you need to know to REALLY strengthen your core:
You should always work it in four different ways:
(Anti-) Lateral Flexion
Isometric
(Anti-) Rotation
(Anti-) Extension
(Anti-Lateral) Flexion
Anything that keeps your body from bending to the side.
Examples: Side Plank, Suitcase Carry, Mountain Climber
Isometric
Anything that makes you hold your core for a long period of time without moving.
Examples: Hollow Hold, Plank Hold, Bear Stance Hold
(Anti-) Rotation
Anything that goes against your core rotation side to side.
Examples: Paloff Press, Russian Twist, Windshield Wipers
(Anti-) Extension
Anything that keeps your spine from arching backwards
Examples: Bodysaws, Deadbugs, AB Wheel Roll Outs
Here's a sample F.I.R.E. core workout:
A1. Side Plank Hip Dips (:30s Each Side)
A2. Plank Hold (:30s)
A3. Russian Twists (:30s)
A4. Deadbugs (:30s Each Side)
10s Rest in between Exercises
30s Rest in between Circuits
Repeat 3-4x
