What the belly button does when you engage your ab What the belly button does when you engage your abdominals tells a lot about your core. This guy came to me with low back pain. When I asked him to engage his core, you can see his belly button goes in and moves upward (1st video). This is a sign that his upper rectus abdominus (6 pack muscle) and the transverse abdominus are the dominant muscles when he activates his core “cylinder.” Conversely, his abdominal muscles in the back were not as active or firm to the touch. The core cylinder should activate as a single functional unit. It consists of the diaphragm, all abdominals (rectus abdominis, transverse abdominus, obliques), lumbar and pelvic floor muscles. All should engage symmetrically and at the same time to create intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). IAP is the mechanism that stabilizes the lumbar spine. It is also critical for joint alignment, stabilization and generation of power through the hips, shoulders and extremities. Pain and injury can change how we recruit these muscles. How we train our core can also affect this. Crunches are often to blame. So how did I get him to engage his core without his belly button moving up and inward? AWARENESS COMES FIRST! I had him tell me what his bellybutton was doing when he tightened his abs (he was watching himself in a mirror). He said “it is moving up.” My next instructions were, “Can you engage your abs without your belly button moving up?“ As you can see in the second video, he was able to engage his core without his belly button moving much at all. This was one of his take home exercises. If he practices this regularly, it will become automatic. He will retrain his brain to activate his core the correct way and generate the appropriate amount of IAP to protect his back. Awareness is the key if you want to change a faulty movement. First you have to get the person to recognize (see and feel) the incorrect movement and then help them find their own movement solution. Some figure it out on their own, others you have to give them the answer through queuing. What does your belly button do when you engage your core?

Wow! If resistance exercise is this beneficial for Wow! If resistance exercise is this beneficial for cancer survivors, how effective do you think it might be for normal people trying to avoid cancer? If this doesn’t show how powerful and important resistance/strength training is for us, I don’t know what does. A well-rounded fitness program should include: ✅ Resistance Training 2-3X /week ✅ Floor Work (yoga, DNS exercise, etc) 2-3X/week ✅ High Intensity Interval Training 1-2X/week ✅ Cardio/Metabolic Conditioning 2-3X/week Would you like to have your resistance training or overall fitness program evaluated by experienced trainers @runningironperformance? They are here to help you make smart exercise choices and you are executing them with perfect form.
