A Core Lifestyle
Your Core Limitations
Do you use your core only at your Pilates studio or gym? Or are you core-aware throughout your entire day? Your core should have no limitations and endless capabilities. This is an elaborate way of saying, your core should be your daily power house!
A Core Lifestyle
At CoeDynamics Pilates and Functional Health, it is a lifestyle to Look & Feel GREAT! Your Pilates sessions is where you should build awareness and strength for your core (and the whole body), but its during your daily activities when, if you use it, you will build true core endurance.
Daily Benefits of a Strong Core
💁🏽♀️ confident, attractive posture
💪🏼 greater strength to perform daily and fitness activities
😴 restful sleep because other muscles “trying” to be your core are not fatigued and tight
Carry It With Poise
Backpacks are a great example of how improper posture can affect the core use. A typical back pack sits on the upper trapezius (muscles that connect neck to the shoulders). Unfortunately, this design triggers improper “carrying” muscles (upper traps rise, upper back rounds, head pushes forward). This mis-alignment can create a domino effect downward, loading lower back, hips, knees and feet, and causing undue strain on our muscles and joints. It is a nearly impossible to keep proper core engagement with this type of alignment.
Meet X-Over Bags
The X-over bag is a sling bag that is worn across the body with an ergonomic fit to the back. The positioning of the X-over bag encourages a natural and correct placement of the pelvis and lower back. I’ll let Mirjam, the US distributor for X-over bags, explain the different carrying systems, the benefits to your body, and wide variety variety of uses...
“Our X-over bags are designed to combine style, functionality and comfort in one. It is a sling bag worn across the body with importance of an ergonomic fit to the back. With the crossover belt routing, the shoulder and neck area is less stressed and the weight is redistributed to the chest. The main strap is adjustable and provides an easy in and out.
If carrying a heavier load or wearing it while hiking, riding a bike, jogging, etc., the X-over bag features an additional belt 3-point system (see pic). This option helps to achieve a balanced load distribution, carrying the load on the torso instead of the shoulders. This relieves pressure from the back for optimal spinal health and easier core engagement. All the while, it’s securing the bag and preventing it from sliding forward so it can be used while enjoying your fitness activity like riding a bike.”
