Video 483 | Seated Core (15 minutes) with Lauren Eirk
13-Nov-2023
Sometimes we have to sit for longer than we would like, in meetings, during traveling, or in periods of rehabilitation. Not only that, some have a difficult time getting down onto the floor to train the core.
In this express workout, you will only need your bodyweight and a chair to get through this routine. We will begin with a postural awareness warm-up as we visit the major planes of motion from the neck, trunk, and shoulders. We will then combine moving and non-moving positions in flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral flexion using the chair and the weight of the body as resistance.
Notice how small changes in one's center of mass can greatly influence muscular involvement. Become more aware of the transverse abdominal stabilization and what is required to support our own bodyweight.
All levels welcome! There are modifications throughout. Never feel as though you cannot move to a lesser degree when needed. Honor your body every day!
