Core Power

Posted Nov 29 2008 12:26pm
In a previous post I discussed two of the three types of core training; core stability and strength. Today I will shed some light on the third and most advanced form of core training:


  1. Core Stability

  2. Core Strength

  3. Core Power
Core power ishe ability to maintain effective core stability (core muscle engagement and spinal positioning) in the Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip Complex with fast and forceful movement at the spine.


Core power exercises also commonly have a point of release where a medicine ball or other modality is propeled by the force and power generated from one's core.



Example 1



Example 2

Exercise Variables:

  • 0-2 exercises
  • 2-3 sets
  • 8-12 repetitions
  • as fast as you can control (core engagement and positioning)
  • 0-60 secs rest

Note: The medicine ball should not be greater than 10% of your body weight


Now just because you know the basics on core power does not mean you should go out and immediately try it at the gym. Tomorrow I will discuss the core training progression and when the each of the three types should be done.
