How to know if you have a weak core

And yes... You can have abs on show and still have a weak core.

What do you think the fundamental job is of our core?

Lets talk about the Transverse Abdominis.

The TA is a sheet of muscle that extends from your ribs to your pelvis and wraps around your trunk from front to back. Its the deepest part of your core and acts as a stabilizer.

So... if you are only doing movements for your core that include bending of the spine.. you are missing a fundamental aspect of core training.

The TA maintains tension to protect and support our organs and manages intra-abdominal pressure for weight lifting, carrying our babies and everything inbetween.

Here are some signs that you have a weak core:

Poor posture, fatigue, low back pain, increase muscle injuries and hernias.
