The importance of core stability (for everybody)

Core Stability Exercises and Classes

I am reluctant to suggest other exercises because the results are very much related to each person’s ability to engage and feel the core muscles and this needs some supervision.

If you suffers of any back pain and don’t know how to train your core then I would suggest avoiding Pilates classes in big groups with little supervision, or trying the DIY route with DVDs. You may not have someone there to give you the feedback and corrections you need.

My advice would be to find an experienced physiotherapist or instructor for Pilates Body Control and book a 1:1 session. In this way you can be sure that you will train the proper muscles.

Remember - when exercising for core strength you should never experience pain.  Prevention is better, cheaper and more fun than cure.  Investing in a good instructor will give you the tools to feel and train your body to achieve the highest performance.
