WARNING: THE CORE STABILIZATION EXERCISE TECHNIQUES MOST PERSONAL
TRAINERS ARE TAUGHT ARE _NOT EFFECTIVE_ FOR CORRECTING MUSCULAR
IMBALANCES \">WORST OF ALL IS THAT THE MOST EFFECTIVE CORRECTIVE
EXERCISES FOR INJURIES TO THE SHOULDERS, LOWER BACK, HIPS \">
DEAR FELLOW FITNESS PROFESSIONAL, Are you:
* Frustrated with general core stabilization ">failed to correct
your clients' muscular imbalances like the books say?
* Baffled at the lack of effectiveness static stretching, dynamic
flexibility ">cause pain to the area of injury?
* Forced to avoid exercises your clients need like squats, lunges,
presses and overhead movements due to their shoulder, lower back or
knee pain?
* Struggling to find safe, effective exercise modifications &
alternatives for your fitness bootcamp clients with low back or knee
pain?
_YEARS AGO I WAS IN YOUR SHOES UNTIL I FIGURED OUT SOME OF THE MOST
EFFECTIVE CORE STABILIZATION EXERCISES FOR ELIMINATING CHRONIC,
NAGGING INJURIES THAT HELPED MY CLIENTS ACHIEVE THEIR FITNESS GOALSAND
I CAN HELP YOU TOO_
My name is Kevin Yates, a fitness professional specializing in core
stability training \">What Most Personal Training Courses Don't Teach
You About Core Stabilization Exercises
Back in 2001 I was working for a health club and a growing number of
club members were suffering from chronic pain and musculoskeletal
injuries. Some of the most common areas of pain and injury were the
shoulders, lower back, hips and knees.
At the time, I had only been a personal trainer for a little over a
year and the only knowledge I had acquired was what I had learned from
my personal training certification course that had all the basic
‘gym’ exercises but didn’t mention anything about which
exercises to do for clients with specific injuries aside of a few
basic core stabilization exercises like stability ball crunches,
planks and bridges.
But, when those same exercises didn't work my clients became
frustrated and I lost many of them because I didn't have any _REAL_
solutions that worked like the books said they would.
I began to doubt that I could be successful and earn a living as a
fitness professional and as feelings of hopelessness got the best of
me I almost gave up completely.
But then, I discovered a powerful solution for using core
stabilization training that ultimately led me to create one of the
most effective methods that would help hundreds of individuals
eliminate nagging injuries.
DON'T TAKE IT FROM ME, HERE'S WHAT JUST A COUPLE OF MY CLIENTS WHO
HAVE USED MY CORE STABILIZATION EXERCISES HAVE TO SAY:
_"Kevin's workouts are so much more challenging than any workout you
can do at a gym. You can get on the treadmill or the elliptical
machine and do the same boring thing for 3, 4 or 5 miles._
_Bottom line, in a little over 6 months training with Kevin; my knee
pain is gone, I've lost over 28 lbs and my endurance and strength has
improved. Tell me what cardio machine can do all of that?"_
-DON YURICK, AGE 34, BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL, PLEASANT HILL, CALIFORNIA
_"Prior to working out with Kevin I worked out on my own, but I was
becoming more and more limited with what I could do because of chronic
pain in my shoulder, lower back, knees and elbows. I had to restrict
golf and running because of the pain and considered elbow surgery._
_Since working with Kevin I've experienced a reduction of pain and
improvement in my sports activities. I am hitting the golf ball
further, begun running, have more flexibility and less back, knee,
elbow pain._
_I feel great and am looking forward to continuing to improve my
physical strength and flexibility which should result in less pain."_
-PAT CRONIN, AGE 50, FINANCIAL ADVISOR AND FATHER OF 3, DANVILLE
CALIFORNIA
The Real Problem Traditional Core Stabilization Exercises Aren't
Addressing
The reality is that most personal trainers are never taught how to
identify and correct specific compensation strategies resulting from
muscular imbalances that almost always occur when performing
traditional core stabilization exercises.
Instead, most personal trainers are taught some _generalized_ core
stabilization exercises for apparently healthy individuals but not
_specific _exercises for those suffering from nagging injuries due to
muscular imbalances.
To make matters worse, many core exercises personal trainers learn in
personal training manuals, textbooks and educational courses often
reinforce existing muscle compensation strategies which is why so
many clients aggravate injuries during certain core exercises.
The #1 Reason Why Most Core Training Exercises Fail To Correct
Muscular Imbalances
Most corrective core stabilization exercises are designed to
strengthen the injured areas of the body. Unfortunately, this often
does very little to correct muscular imbalances and can make them
worse because the injured areas of the body are often only a symptom
but not the actual cause of injury.
The #1 reason most core stability exercises are unsuccessful in
correcting muscular imbalances is because most of them are merely
treating symptoms of injuries and are minimally effective at best.
_IT'S LIKE TRYING TO FIX A GAPING WOUND THAT REQUIRES STITCHES WITH
ONLY A BAND-AID!_
The only way to correct muscular imbalances and eliminate chronic
injuries is with a core stabilization training program designed to
address the causes.
Why Traditional Flexibility Training Isn't Nearly As Effective As Core
Stabilization Exercises
One of the mistakes I made back then was using 'specialized'
techniques like static stretching, dynamic stretching and myofascial
release performed on a foam roller to attempt to correct muscular
imbalances.
What I didn't realize is that these techniques rarely work because
they do not address the compensation strategies of the kinetic chain
that occur during movement nor do they strengthen the weaker,
inhibited muscles.
Injuries rarely happen when the body is at rest, they occur during
movement and therefore most flexibility training techniques like
passive stretching and myofascial release are not very effective for
correcting muscular imbalances by themselves because they are
performed while the muscles are relaxed.
And, dynamic flexibility training is a double-edged sword that can
be more effective than static stretching and myofascial release but
_ONLY _if the proper muscular recruitment patterns are used.
MUSCULAR IMBALANCES ARE CAUSED BY A NUMBER OF REASONS BESIDES JUST
'TIGHT MUSCLES'.
Most muscular imbalances exist because of poor, inefficient movement
mechanics, improper alignment, altered muscle length/tension
relationships all of which can increase muscle and joint stress.
Therefore, dynamic flexibility training can actually make muscular
imbalances worse and create an increasing list of injuries unless the
proper muscular recruitment patterns are developed.
Dynamic flexibility can only succeed when the RIGHT MUSCLES are
recruited in the RIGHT SEQUENCE at the RIGHT TIME.
But, most personal training certification programs, clinical
textbooks and educational courses fail to teach this and instead leave
you with stretches that only address the symptoms of injuries rather
than the causes.
Take someone who goes to a chiropractor for example.
A patient goes to the chiropractor for a symptom such as lower back
pain. The chiropractor might perform a few adjustments to 'put things
back in place' and the painful symptoms are often relieved.
However, the majority of times the patient returns for more visits
due to recurring episodes of pain because only the symptom is treated
and only addressing the symptom will fail to resolve the problem
permanently until the the cause of the lower back pain is identified
and corrected.
The only way to accomplish this is by retraining the core stabilizing
muscles with specific exercises like the ones in my manual "CORE
STABILIZATION TRAINING FOR MUSCULAR IMBALANCES: CORRECTIVE EXERCISES
\">CLICK HERE TO ORDER NOW!
The Truth You Haven't Been Told About Core Stabilization Exercises For
The Abdominals
Another thing I used to think was that all my clients needed were
abdominal exercises like regular and diagonal crunches performed on a
stability ball and planks to strengthen the core.
Little did I know that correcting muscular imbalances with core
stabilization training requires much more than just abdominal
exercises and placing too much emphasis on abdominal exercises can
make muscular imbalances worse.
Abdominal training is important but it's only part of the picture and
by using many non-functional exercises like crunches and its'
variations my clients were learning to flex and round the back to
stabilize their bodies which was placing them at serious risk for a
lower back injury.
And, often times many other core stabilization exercises like back
extensions, planks and bridges are felt mostly in the lower back which
is often thought will stengthen the lower back.
The truth is that this is a compensation strategy that happens when
the abdominal stabilizers fail to provide proper core stabilization
making your clients more vulnerable to a back injury.
_I can't believe I made such HUGE mistakes back then!_
Exposing The Myth Of The 'Drawing-In Maneuver' In Core Stabilization
Exercises
I remember taking a weekend certification course on balance \">THE
REAL STORY BEHIND TODAY'S POPULAR CORE STABILIZATION TRAINING TOOLS
I had also learned how functional training methods for core stability
are enhanced with various tools like stability balls, resistance
bands, dumbbells, medicine balls and body weight exercises.
What I didn't know was that most core exercises fitness professionals
learn involving the use of these training tools originated from the
physical rehabilitation field however most physical rehabilitation
programs do not utilize the full potential of these training tools or
the exercises that are possible with them.
Another thing I experienced was how in most physical rehabilitation
programs people are told what exercises to do but aren't taught the
proper way to do them.
The truth is that telling a client to 'engage the core' or 'tighten
the abs' doesn't mean they can actually do it properly and often they
compensate by using the muscles that reinforce the existing muscular
imbalances they already have.
For example, when I first started using basic core stabilization
exercises like the plank I didn't realize that most clients don't
actually feel the abdominal stabilizers working.
Instead they feel the shoulders, arms, quadriceps and often the lower
back
Or how many times the lower back and quadriceps are the main muscles
working when performing bridging exercises.
I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I DISCOVERED HOW MUSCLES LIKE THE QUADRICEPS,
LOWER BACK, SHOULDERS AND ARMS WORK TO COMPENSATE FOR THE WEAKER CORE
STABILIZERS.
This is one of the biggest reasons why so many people experience
discomfort and aggravate existing injuries when performing certain
exercises.
It happens all the time with so many core exercises but often goes
unnoticed because it's difficult to identify in real-time during a
one-on-one training session and nearly impossible during a fitness
bootcamp or group exercise class with as many as 20 people
UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR.
That's what makes my Core Stabilization Training System so effective.
It not only provides the most effective core strengthening exercises
for all individuals and fitness levels but it teaches you exactly how
to identify compensation strategies that occur during each exercise
and simple, quick corrections you can instantly use on-the-spot to fix
them without having to sacrifice a training session or stop a client
in the middle of a fitness bootcamp or group exercise class.
