The Core and Core Stability - Myth or Reality?

Live workshop with Julian Baker

We often use terms and words within our industry that seem to have a wide acceptance and which we assume mean the same to everyone. Yet sometimes these terms can be difficult to pin down and define, with 'The Core' being one of the strangest.

It's a term that has been kicking around for many years and is now seemingly in common parlance in every studio, gym or sporting arena. Instructors run sessions on the core and athletes widely discuss the need for core strength and core stability as a key element to sporting function.

Yet the definition seems to change whenever a meaning is asked for, with the central question of what is it and where is it being as easy to grasp as smoke from a candle!

In this session we will try to boil down this simple term to find out what, the term really means, how it is used differently and interchangeably and whether there might be a more effective way of describing what we mean.
