Are you Engaging your Core Muscles?

Knowing how to engage your core muscles can help reduce the risk of lower back injuries.

Here is an example of poor core engagement:

Imagine you are lifting a heavy object overhead. As you lift the object you begin to feel how heavy it is . This makes you begin to arch your lower back. Arching your lower back can strain your muscles which can then lead to injury.

If you are interested in learning cues on how to engage your core, join us November 17th at 11:00am in the Summit Room for an “Engage Your Core Workshop”. Space is limited to 15.
