Core strengthening 2018, October routine

If you are new to our core strengthening routines, please take a few minutes to read the background information contained with the September routine:

Core Strengthening 2018 September

The October routine concerns another critical state of the core segment, that being a healthy spinal column.  One of the basic functions of core musculature is to protect the spinal column from unhealthy loads but the column must itself have a healthy range of motion to begin with.  Too much sitting and insufficient activity tightens joints and soft tissues.  The routine involves performing a staple of Yoga practice, the sun salutation A-version.  This version introduces simple standing and bridging positions with variations of a neutral, flexed and extended spine.  Controlled, easy breathing is necessary throughout.  Be kind to your body and work within safe limits.
There is a link on the page to an excellent video with coaching pointers.
