The Best Core Exercise

What is the best core exercise? Is it 100 crunches or hour long held planks? In this episode, I discuss one of the best, if not, THE best core exercise called the Barbell Landmine. It is one of the many exercises featured in my new DVD, "Moving More Muscles - Balancing Muscles with Push/Pull Combos". In the video, I discuss the tools needed to design balanced exercise programs involving push and pull movements. The Landmine is a great exercise because it trains the core and abs in a standing position, which is the most functional for daily activity and performance. The core is needed to stabilize the spine during activities such as running, playing golf, or skiing. This function alone is paramount to avoid injury and be successful at your sport or simply feel better. While at first, this exercise will get you stares from others in the gym, but when you begin to "feel" the core and reap the benefits of a stronger mid-section and improved strength, you will want MORE people to stare! Listen to the podcast to get an idea of setting up this exercise and performing it properly. To really gain the benefits of the Landmine and perform it flawlessly, check out the new DVD, "Moving More Muscles".
