At Somsalut we like you to learn to know your body better, to consciously work your muscles, and to have control over your movements. And a good starting point to focus on is the CORE, the nucleus, the center of your body!

The navel is our point of reference, around this area forces are transferred from one part of the body to the other, and any imbalance here can affect the rest of us.

Observe the effect produced by a girdle when it wraps around our waist: it holds and protects our vertebrae, before we pick up a weight it already gives us support, helps us stabilize the lumbar spine… You create this girdle with your muscles! To do this, you need to pay attention to how your diaphragm, transversus abdominis, multifidus or paravertebral, and pelvic floor work. The joint activation of all of them are your girdle, they generate like a ball of air inside the abdomen, which is what helps us reduce the compressive forces on the vertebrae and also reduces the work of the muscles that keep up (he suffers so much from back pain).

And just as when we build a house we need to establish good foundations, these are the foundations of CORE musculature.

Although you think that CORE is made up of 29 pairs of muscles that include the trunk, pelvis, and thighs.

So once we have this base, these firm foundations, we would add the rectus anterior and the obliques, the famous tablet. Then the movement of the pelvis, legs, arms, and rotations of the trunk,… The CORE is the progression in the exercises!
