Seriously mate some of the talk about core muscles is just nuts. Like the other pages on this site I could have used help with moving well but got stupid advice.
I though three years would be enough to rebuild my core after a hernia maybe it will be more like six. Anyway the first thing to discuss this time around is what I’ll call core awareness.
As I have talked about things more it has become more obvious that you need to help people identify how they are ‘using’ their core before you can get anywhere quickly.
To jump to the extreme you could have someone who’s posture is so far out and smokes pot he have pretty much no ‘feel’ ability for movement. This is represented by the picture with red on the far right. As far as I can tell the easiest way to get them aware of how their body is going is through their hands and feet.
The state in the picture with orange is how I related to my core for most of my time moving. People talk about things like your glute muscles being turned of. In this state the core is mostly turned off and limbs are used to determine body positioning.
The picture with yellow is designed to represent the stage where people have core awareness but it hasn’t been full tuned. I started to get some ideas down about this in the ‘Teardrop’ bits of writing.
In the picture with green the four points indicated are two upper ab areas and two lower back areas. This is designed to represent people that can adjust their posture with the axis of their core.
Here’s two of the old links for the first drafts:
