Last week I told the personal trainer assigned to me at our fitness club that I wanted to work on my "core" and my "butt".
Core Strength
The term core comes up often in the health club. What is your core and what does it do? Your core consists of the muscles in your trunk such as your transverse abdominis, internal obliques, external obliques, rectus abdoninis, and erector spinae to name a few. Together these muscles act to stabilize the spine, protect it from injury, and maintain proper posture. Adequate core strength is essential for preventing and alleviating low back pain as well as preventing injuries in all aspects of life.
Today the very young buffed, pumped, athletic male trainer unveiled the plan he carefully and thoughtfully devised for me. Today I discovered that even though I excersice 4-5 times a week, I have no core and no butt!! So, I want to quit. Because in order to have core strength and gluteus muscles that aren't rubbery, you have to hurt. Hurt a lot and Hurt regularly. Not my idea of fun.
