CORE TRAINING FOR MEN & WOMEN
Any Age or Body Type!

By creating a firm and strong stomach, you will stabilize the spine so it acts like a solid foundation for sustaining a good body posture. Core exercise will also tone your torso and abs and keep your lower back healthy, by improving your posture.

Core Training Information
Core Training Newsletter

All movement in your body originates in your core. The core muscles of your body is your center of gravity. Strong core muscles — abdominal, back and pelvis — provide support to your spine for everything from walking, lifting and standing to sitting. Strong core muscles are the foundation for sustaining health and fitness, however they are often neglected. Most people have weak core muscle, which are the cause of many injuries, poor posture and lower back pain and injury.

By helping you to function better and improving your posture, an effective core exercises program can help stave off painful and debilitating problems. The goal of core training is to work the area that supports your trunk and spine. Regardless your age or physical activity, it’s crucial to develop strong core muscles because they comes into play, just about every time you move any part of your body.

There are sound and valid anatomical reasons for doing core strengthening, which are easy to see, once you understand the relationship between the stomach muscles and the spine. A strong, stable core can make any sport, like tennis, running, swimming, golf and skating, easier. For example, if your spine acts as a powerful base for your legs, you will be able to put more power behind each movement of body with less effort. If your core is strong, your lower AB muscles will be drawn in towards the spine and help you sit up straight. In essence, core training is an intelligent training structure, because it strengthens weak muscles and imbalances from the inside out.

Important Facts

"Back injuries account for nearly 20% of all injuries and illnesses in the workplace in North America." - The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

"Chronic back pain is said to account for more than $2.5 billion lost to the British economy each year" - The British Medical Journal

"Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) continues to be one of the leading causes of death and morbidity among adult." - Canadian Association of Cardiac Rehabilitation

"Excess weight and lack of basic abdominal strength put extra stress on the lower back; back injuries are still the second leading cause of work absenteeism."
- The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

Core Muscle Mechanics

The primary back muscles are known as the erector spinal and run from your hip to your neck on either side of your spine, branching off to attach at your ribs and spine; these extend the spine. The quads, hip flexors, hip rotators, hamstrings and gluteus are primary core stabilizers. Core training includes any body movement that works the abdominal muscles often ignored by other exercise programs. These muscles, in particular, has a starring postural role and is crucial in the stabilization of the lumber spine because it hugs your innards like a snug, muscular corset. The abdominal muscles and erector spinal contract synergistically to stabilize your torso (the basis of core training). The abs, which flex and rotate your spine, comprise the rectus abdominis and the external and internal obliques. Recommended by sport scientists, physiotherapists and osteopaths, core training is the most important training that quickly gets you back to basics.


The Best & The Worst Core Exercises

The best ab exercises are surprisingly easy to do. A study at the Biomechanics Lab at San Diego State University looked at a variety of common abdominal exercises in order to determine what really works. The study compared 13 abdominal exercises, ranging from the traditional crunch to more complicated activities, using at-home and gym equipment.

Each of the 13 exercises was ranked for muscle stimulation (measured with EMG) in the rectus abdominus (the long, flat muscle extending the length of the front of the abdomen) and the internal and external obliques (the long, flat muscles extending along the sides of the abdomen at an angle).

The BEST three core exercises were:
- Bicycle maneuver
- Captain’s chair
- Hips rotations


The WORST three abdominal exercises were:

- Traditional crunch and sit-ups
- Exercise tubing pull
- Abs machines

Why Master Moves Works?

The Mastermoves basic hip exercises combines the best abdominal exercises in a simple routine that you can practice any time and anywhere. The Master Disk will help you rotate your lower body through a controlled range of motion while keeping your upper body stable. Additionally, the floor exercises will help you keep you back in perfect alignment while exercising your abdominal and shoulder muscles.

It takes only 10 to 15 minutes, however the result, like dancing your body for 3 hours, is better core strength, a higher calorie burn, improved full body functional strength, better postures, beautiful abs, hips, thighs, and buns. You can do most of the exercises at home, office, hotel...virtually anywhere and anytime.

Reducing your waistline and toning your core muscles is important for facilitating your balance and body movements. Your core is responsible for flexing your body forward and sideways, rotating it side-to-side, and spine extension, as well as torso and pelvic stabilization. Working your core with hip rotation makes your body to work much harder than when weight training on gyms and exercise machines.

Benefits of Core Training

Your body's core — the area around your trunk and pelvis — is where your center of gravity is located. A strong core gives you:

  • Increased protection and "bracing" for your back

  • Controlled movement

  • A more stable center of gravity

  • A more stable platform for sports movements

  • Better posture - our pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen work in harmony. They provide support to your spine for just about any activity.

Strong core muscles provide the brace of support needed to help prevent such pain and injury. If you want to stay fit for life, you must develop core strength. A weak core can make be your worst nightmare - without core strength, you are susceptible to poor posture, lower back pain and muscle injuries. The good news is that you can exercise your core any time and anywhere.

Our Core Exercises program is designed to stimulate your body's metabolism, facilitating healthy weight loss. How?

Core Training will Bring Your Body back to Optimal Fitness!

The intent of Core Training is to strengthen the muscle groups that stabilize your skeletal structure. These are primarily the muscles in the thoracic area that determine your posture in each position of your body. The first step to improving your posture is getting to know these muscles, then toning them so you can tighten them together with your lower back's muscles.

  • Foundation for Movement -These muscles stabilize the spine, pelvis and shoulder and provide a solid foundation for movement in the extremities.
  • Protection of your Vital Systems - Your core provides a protective shield for your spinal cord and internal organs. The core muscles also function to keep your insides in, where they belong.
  • Improves Body Fluids - When your body moves and is exercised from your core, the internal organs are mobilized and stimulated from adhering together. It improves fluid flow through the organs and is very helpful to maintaining normal bowel movement.
  • Enhance Circulatory Support - Core Training allows pressure changes in the core muscles that assist the heart and extremity muscles to circulate blood and lymphatic fluids throughout the body.
  • Good Body Posture and Body Stability - Your core muscles stiffen the spine, rib cage and pelvic girdle so that your head, arms and legs have stable working foundation. These muscles all work in harmony to provide stabilization for your body to transfer power from the legs to the upper body and vice versa.

Your core muscles serve many vital functions that contribute to your overall health. Let's take a look at key core functions in order to appreciate the importance of core training exercises:
