DEVELOP STRONG CORE & UPPER BODY INSPIRED BY RAINBEAU MARS

To know more check our events Page.
In the athletics industry, there is a popular term used to describe the different muscle groups of the upper body while training. Generally, the upper body can be broken down into two separate groups. The “show” muscles, consisting of the anterior chain of muscles: pectoralis muscles, abs, and biceps, and the “go muscles” consisting of the posterior chain of muscles: rhomboids, triceps, lats, and the trapezius muscle complex.2 As you could imagine based on what the name implies, the anterior chain muscles are generally the look good muscles, but the posterior chain muscles are what’s important in providing stability, power, and total body strength.2 Sometimes, due to either ineffective training, or poor care of the body following exercise, some of the “show” muscles become tight and overactive, while a majority of the “go muscles” become stretched out, weak, and inhibited. This occurrence is known as upper cross syndrome (UCS), and is characterized by protracted shoulders and a forward head.3 Specifically, athletes displaying UCS exhibit tight pecs (major and minor), upper traps, and cervical extensors (sternocleidomastoid, levator scapulae, and scalenes). As a result, the same athletes have inhibited, weak, and underactive mid-and-upper back muscles (mid/lower traps, serratus anterior, and rotator cuff).3

There are five different parts of your upper body, these consist of chest (pectoralis major), back, arms, core, and shoulder. Each part of the upper body is very important to focus on, just like leg day. There isn’t one part that is more important than the other, so getting them all equally worked is important as they all connect in some way. The core, or abdominal muscles, is a very important because those muscles connect up to your chest, to your back, and then connect down to your thighs. Working your back and shoulders will help your posture which in return helps prevent injuries. Having strong arms helps with everyday activities as well, such as reaching, grabbing, and carrying things.

Core
Today we are going to talk about strengthening our core. When most people hear the word core, they automatically think about the abdominals. Core muscles involve so much more than that. Core muscles are some of the major muscles that stabilizes and controls the pressure inside the trunk; these are the pelvic floor, abdominal wall, back, and diaphragm muscles.2 Here are a few reasons why it is important to strengthen core muscles:
• Strong core muscles improve sports performance3
Core muscles are what help you to generate power. Any dynamic movement that comes from the upper or lower body originates from the core. You can have good upper body and lower body strength, but with a weak core you will still not be as powerful. A strong core also helps you to change directions quickly, which is important with sports.


• A strong core reduces the risk of injury3
Back pains and strains are common due to improper bending, lifting and sitting in a chair for too long. Strengthening the core is one of the best ways to prevent lower back pain. It also improves balance and gives the body greater stability in the midsection, which lowers the risk of injury when changing positions quickly.
• Better posture3
Problems with posture are often due to muscle imbalances, weak back muscles, relative to abdominal muscles. Strengthening the core helps correct this imbalance and improve posture.
• It improves your ability to do everyday activities3
Everyday activities such as: bending over to pick something up, moving furniture, climbing the stairs, etc. all involves core muscles. Even outside of sports, a strong core is vital for everyday activities.
• A strong core is the key to flat abs3
To obtain those abdominal muscles, balance is key. By focusing on just abdominals and excluding other core muscles will make it difficult to get that abdominal definition. To avoid this, balance exercises. Make sure workouts work your abdominal muscles along with exercises that strengthen back, hips and pelvis muscles

Classes Overview
