Leg Muscles Diagram

Awesome ways to improve your core strength!

EDUCATION BACKGROUND:

No matter what you hear or read, a factor that can not be denied is the need for strong muscles, long-lasting core. It may have been the image of Rocky Balboa, training in Russia, or seeing a Olympic gymnast who was his inspiration to develop an impressive base, but one thing on their side is the amount of different exercises that target the area, in fact there is no other body part that is closest to the amount exercises designed for it!

Personally from my experience, a core solid rock has always been fundamental, first for my football career to escape tackles and maintain rhythm and balance. Then, later down the line that need became even more important with my time in the army, which has the ability to carry equipment weighing over 90 pounds (40 kg) for days and days of the work, the difference between a pass and not in a battle situation, life and death.

I remember having my absolute body ends when my training center, sacrificing many weekends and the movie with his girlfriend to get in the most difficult situations. I did it to make sure that it would that when it matters most, to ensure that hardened and comfortable to the eyes of total discomfort. I did my best to follow the belief that:

"Pain in preparation meant comfort in the competition."

The essence of a person's strength is at its core, so the improvement of this axis also ensures great progress with many of his favorite moves of other weightlifting.

Muscle compartments of the abdominal and lumbar area, known as the "core" muscles are vital for stabilizing the trunk and energy production in many athletic skills. My program of strength training, a high priority in these muscles, such as abandonment of them can create a weak link in the center of the body.

Before explaining some of our favorite moves, I would like to offer a closer look at the muscles in question. Feel allowed to open my diagram of human anatomy as a reference while reading. <click here>

Directed muscles.

Abdominal muscles: The four abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis, external oblique, internal oblique and transversus abdominal) serve to flex the chest, rotation and lateral flexion of the spine and compress the abdominal region. These are critical nucleus anterior muscles side to support the torso.

Lower back muscles: the erector spinae group (spinal longissimus and iliocostalis) transversospinalis group (multifidus, rotators, and semispinalis), and quadratus, form support groups after extrinsic and intrinsic.

Together, these structures are responsible for the extension, lateral flexion and rotation of the spine.

Basic exercises.

An infinite number of exercises are available to the kernel. The pictures show some of my favorites:

1) Medicine ball crunches:

Assume a supine position with knees bent, and keep an erection, while the torso by flexing the trunk to a position just before the perpendicular to the ground. Pause for a second in that position, then lower the trunk to the point where the lower back touches the ground. (For extra strength, use of medicine balls of different sizes and weights.)

To stimulate the obliques, add a twist to the left and right in the middle range of the exercise. You can ensure an adequate range of motion by twisting taking the medicine ball slightly behind the hips.

2) Rock the Bridge:

My personal favorite the basic exercise. Assume the standard bridge position, but your body swing to his side. Once in this position for locking out and drive hips corset the oblique abdominals and low lying. Distribute your weight bodies as close to your legs as possible and both his arm at all times. This movement exercises is an elevation of the hips and buttocks upward toward the ceiling directly.

Perform 20 repetitions on the right side, then immediately followed by 20 on the left, 15 to your right, 15 left, 10 to your right, 10 left, and finish with a expected 45 seconds on both sides.

Put simply this is the most effective side oblique and the nucleus of exercise you do, try over the range of reps and see what you think.

2) Bank Drafts:

Hook your feet under a bench and turn the torso to a position facing the plant. Slowly raise your torso to a position where the shoulders are square to the bench. Alternate right turns and left.

For resistance Additionally, holding a small weight plate or medicine ball at chest.

3) Money Ball Switzerland

From supine position the shoulders and back of the neck and head in a "Swiss" ball. Keep your knees bent at approximately 90 degrees with legs and torso parallel to the floor and arms extended perpendicular to the ground. Note: It is important to maintain this position for trunk stabilization and proper functioning exercise.

Now, twist your torso so that the weapons reach the ground and pause for a second before returning to the starting position. Alterna turns to the right and left.

For extra resistance, hold a small weight plate or med ball.

4) Ab Wheel Make:

It consists of a wheel (s) with an axis or through the center handles for control purposes. I built six these wheels for materials purchased at hardware stores.

From the kneeling position, keeping your arms straight and a right back stance while Turning the wheel to where the arms and back are parallel to the floor. Pause for a second before returning to the starting position.

Keeping the boom straight back posture while returning to the starting position.

For variety and to encourage more lateral muscles, turning the wheel a bit and make routes arc to the right and left bloody hard, but trust me!

5) Back extensions:

A staple in most programs, this is a great lower back exercise that begins with the body in the flexed position and then extended to a position in which the legs and torso are parallel to the floor. Pause briefly and then slowly return to starting position.

The exercise may be more difficult by placing a weight plate on your back or starting in a standing position. However, it is not recommended until at least 15.12 weight ideal repetitions can be performed.

Final Rep.

I can make at least a basic exercise in completion a session of strength training exercises. Are carried out for the last time a very important reason: These compartments are constantly working, but indirectly, as stabilizers in many other exercises in the strength training routines, and do not want to jeopardize performance and / or safety factors the lifts in the pre-central muscle fatigue.

The representative ranges of these exercises are usually moderate to high. Rarely do less of 12 repetitions per set and often go as high as 20 or more.

As with most of my strength training exercises, we conducted 1-3 chosen sets of each exercise. The decisive factor is the number of exercises in the training, exercises, less sets.

One thing I'v learned martial arts expert, champion athletes and professional footballers is the importance of a strong and balanced core. Make sure you accounted in their training routines.
