The majority of the world has a weak core.  And I don’t think it’s from a lack of trying, I just think it’s from a lack of education.  Most of you would be guessing if I asked you to give me 4 exercises that target deep core strength.   A certain level of deep core strength is required to perform higher level core exercises.  When you think of deep core strength, you’re probably thinking of crunches, leg lifts, sit ups, and Russian twists, am I right?  These core exercises are actually higher level core exercises.  You need to master the basics first in order to perform these high level core exercises correctly with the proper techniques so that you avoid any harmful stress placed on your spine, hips, and pelvis (think - pelvic floor).

This fitness test is called the sitting-rising test. You can measure your combined flexibility and overall strength by how high you score on this test. The aim of test is to stand up from the ground without using your hands, elbows or knees to stand. This test is used to measure not only how well you function within their daily life but it can also be used to measure your life expectancy if you are between the ages of 50 and 80 years old.
 
According to a study in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, if you are able to get up off the ground without the help of a knee or a hand, your life expectancy is higher than those who require help to stand up. This is an assessment tool that’s safe and easy to use. And it provides you with a baseline measure of your overall musculoskeletal health which is essentially a score of your overall flexibility, strength and functional performance.

Does cardio makes you sweat and burns calories?  Yes, of course.  But my point to make here today is your participation in a daily or weekly cardio routine for months and months, years and years will have a tremendous impact on your cardiovascular strength. What is cardiovascular strength?  Cardio means heart.  And vascular is a definition for arteries and veins.
 
Your heart beats on average, 100,000 times per day.  Your heart is a muscle.  It contracts and relaxes just like any other muscle in your body.  To pump blood through your arteries and veins from your chest all the way to the tips of your fingers and toes, your heart has to do some tough work!
