The Forgotten Core Exercises (NOT ABS!)

From the creator

Build an incredibly strong core by training like an athlete here http://athleanx.com/x/get-a-ripped-strong-core-here All too often, people mistake core training for just those exercises that you do that train your abs. If you want to get a truly strong core and midsection, as well as maintain a healthy back, you have to start looking lower and broader when you workout your core. In this video, I show you how one of the most important core muscles is not actually anywhere near your abs or obliques. The glute medius, located around your pelvis and hips, is certainly one of the most overlooked but important core muscles that you need to start targeting. I show you two core exercises you can do for the gluteus medius. The first is one that involves no equipment and is a bodyweight core exercise option for you that you can do anywhere. Using just a wall or something sturdy to stand next to and hold on, you can light up your hips by attempting to perform 50 concentrated contractions of your glute medius in both directions. Don’t worry if you cannot make it to all 50 reps before fatigue sets in. You wouldn’t be alone. In fact, there are plenty of professional athletes who can squat a lot of weight that simply don’t have the strength in this often weak but important hip muscle. Next, we add resistance with a band and challenge you in a few additional planes of motion. We do this with a band resisted palof press. This core exercise can be done with either a cable or a ban
