The Chore of Core

Strengthening the core muscles is something any athlete must decide to do if the want to reach a new level. A strong core helps the overall efficiency of any runner and the exercises that are used to develop a strong set of core muscles are usually exercises that help develop a mental tenacity.

I titled this post the chore of core because the development of the core is not very often where any athlete has great passion.

Runners love to run. Basketball players love play basketball. Hockey player love to skate.

However, the decision to develop the core is the decision to do the little things that are going to help you make the improvements that you desire. As I am just restarting my core routine, I will be leaving a little room to recap some of my core activities for the day to keep me accountable for the habits that I am attempting to develop.

Core from today ( 11/29)
