NASM CPT Podcast – Core Training Overview

Even the biggest bodybuilder with the best set of “Abs” may have a weak core as storied in this episode of the NASM CPT Podcast. Rick talks about the biggest person he’s ever met in real life and how his core stabilization system was … less than impressive. There’s also discussion about statistics, research, and the difference between the stabilization between each vertebrae and stabilization between the pelvis and ribcage. 

Several muscles of the core stabilization system are discussed such as the transverse abdominus, diaphragm, multifidus, and more examining what they do and how they function to support the core. 

Maxims to remember: 

- Stabilize the spine before moving it

- Core is the anchoring point of all functional movement

- “You can’t have distal mobility without proximal stability”

Listen to this episode of the NASM CPT podcast for insights about the core and what it’s for and why stabilization of the spine is important.
