For those that are more advanced - recommend Delavier's core training anatomy. Great workouts incorporating home and gym workouts.
I have been a caregiver for my daughter for 10 years, it has taken a toll on my body. I used to work out and take care of my body until my focus was all on her strengthening and learning to walk again after a devastating car accident(brain injury). I am finally getting back to taking care of me again because I have to. Professionals in this business have been taught to protect their body during caregiving, however family not so much-we just do and it takes a toll when you are not conditioned for that type of work. This book has helped me in so many ways I am thrilled to be taking the time to care for myself in the same way it feels really good and refreshing. A new life at 65!! Thank you for the complete knowledge surrounding this important core! Dr. Jonathan Su.
I recommend it.
The book provides a progression from simple to advanced exercises, as well as complete routines that don't take a lot of time but are simple and effective - highly ecommended!
I finished reading and already began with my 6 minute training.
The book is simple and easy to ready. I really enjoyed it.
The science behind the exercise moves is well-founded. I use this book to teach my clients.
This is a comprehensive resource for anyone with a spine that wants to prevent or rehab back problems.
It is easy to follow and well organized.
He includes plenty of pictures which are always helpful.
His programs are effective if followed as he instructs.
You may be able to self diagnose your problem based on these descriptions. Then you can do the exercises to build those specific muscles up. It also includes explanations for why some common exercises may not be good for you.
There are easy exercises and illustrations for strengthening your core. It lists and shows step by step illustrations. You can work your way up from easy, then intermediate, to advanced exercises.
There is some equipment required. A mat, yoga bolster or pillow, 10 pound weight, resistance band, chair/ bench, and wall are used.
These are some excellent and simple workouts that anyone would be able to do. Especially if they start at the “easy” skill level. Would recommend to anyone who wants a stronger core, or just wants to get into better shape. Suitable for both beginner and advanced fitness levels.
It's apparent that Dr. Su has drawn much experience working with the men and women in the military who work their bodies hard and therefore, prescribed these fundamental movements to help them both strengthen and heal. Really glad he shares his knowledge with everyone in this second published book.
Highly recommend it!
I work with multiple demographics/age ranges and this information can be applied to anyone. The military population, athletes, desk jockeys and the elderly are some examples of populations that can benefit from this info.
Medical providers can sometimes be to technical and this book breaks down complex yet fundamental principles that can help with injury prevention and performance improvement.
The information in this book can also act as a layer of physical therapy that may save you time if your injuries fully recover by following the instructions and principles of exercise. I prescribe a lot of these exercises to the gamut of patients that I see and many of them respond favorably to the core strengthening approach if appropriate.
I highly recommend applying the principles of this book for prevention, preparation, addressing certain injuries and learning the anatomy of the core in a digestible fashion.
So I went through all the exercises just to learn the moves and I also watched the videos because I really want to have good form and that can be hard to achieve by yourself. Keep in mind there is a lot of highlight on form that isn't plainly visible. This was very helpful and somethings actually felt easier as I engaged probably the right muscles and put less strain on the wrong ones. I found that I needed the beginner modification on some to keep from the "common mistakes." I like that this is easily spelled out and also there are advanced modifications for me in the future. I'm hoping to follow these workouts with the very reasonable time commitment and looking forward to how a stronger core may help me overcome my sport climbing plateau too (hovering at 5.10-). I'm hopeful as the first walkthrough of these exercises made me feel the things in all the places that never get any love.
However one complaint I do have is about the audiobook audio. I'm sort of an audiophile and the narrator's equipment isn't the highest quality, but I guess that's neither here nor there lol.
I personally use this type of material with my clients/patients and now am excited to share this reference/resource and would encourage anyone wanting to improve their posture, their ability to move or control their movements better and enjoy a greater quality of life.
I am amazed with the information in the book and it’s materials ! Can’t wait to start performing those exercises and have all the confidence it will benefit me to see results in very short time !!
I would recommend it for everyone to take the chance to be introduced to the importance of the core for us and have enough knowledge about it .
