Top Core Stability Dos and Donts

By: Dr. Daniel Klerer D.C.

  1. This is a great comparison showing a crunch that brings the trunk into flexion and a crunch that activates the core musculature without getting movement through the trunk! In the second picture the key is to hold that position for 5 seconds instead of repetitively going in and out of that position!

2.In these two exercises there is a clear difference in the amount of trunk flexion/movement. In the second picture (a dead bug exercise) we can see there is movement through the limbs, with a stable trunk and the core musculature doing all the work.

3. The first image shows a Russian twist that involves way too much trunk rotation, and is made even worse by adding in weights to the exercise. The second image, a side plank will work our obliques and other stabilizers without any repetitive trunk rotation or flexion and is much safer and efficient!
