In the past few years, the term "core" has been a popular term in the fitness world and in Chicago, but it doesn't seem well understood. To many, the core is a fancy name for the abs, so they just keep doing crunches and situps. Some have caught on that it's not just about flexing yourself into a ball, so they also do side bends, but those are equally useless. To many others, working the core is done with circus trick exercises like balancing on a wobble board or Bosu ball while squatting or doing curls. These are also useless for the most part, in addition to possibly making them weaker, as wobbling reduces the amount of weight one can lift. Most people want to be stronger, not weaker. None of these exercises will do a thing to make your abs visible, either. What most people fail to realize is that they might actually be making their backs worse. Yes, crunches, situps, side bends, and other exercises like these are both useless to shed the layer of fat over your abs (yes, you already have them under there), but are also dangerous to your back over time. Yes, dangerous. Most of us have experienced this ourselves. You are strong and feeling great, and then you reach for a bag of groceries in the back of the car, twist a bit to get it out of the tangle of seatbelts, and WHAM, your back is tweaked! Visible abs didn't, wouldn't, or couldn't help. Your muscles weren't playing well together. They were strong enough to pull the groceries out, but not strong enough to keep your spine protected when it needed their help. All those crunches didn't (and couldn't) help keep you from twisting yourself into an injury. Your abs might have been strong, but your core was not. In reality, Miami Personal Trainers goals on having a “strong” core are more than muscular strength, and more about strength were it counts. Personal Trainers Miami teaches also about mobility, flexibility, and stability. You need the strength to lift a weight. You need to strength to keep a weight from twisting you. You need the mobility to move where you need to, but the flexibility to get there, pain free. Your core needs all of these attributes to be healthy, and being strong is only one part of that. So, Personal Trainers Miami promotes that even though "healthy" isn't a sexy word, it's actually a better fit when you're talking about your strong core.

The Great Dieting Paradox Imagine a wide, winding road where millions of people are walking in the same direction, fueled by a mixture of hope and caffeine.
