At the start of every New Year we each have a chance to wipe the slate clean, to re-evaluate our direction, our choices, our goals. We get a “do over.” We set high standards, hit the ground running, only to fall short of what we intended. What a let-down, we realize we’re HUMAN. If we focus only on that portion of the journey, what have we learned? Short term goals are great. We intend to get to the gym every morning. We plan to eat better, be nicer, relax more. In truth, the real, deeper goal is OPTIMISM. It’s the attitude that regardless of what gets in our way or how long we are “road blocked”, we will always, and without fail, get back on the horse and ride! Research shows that having a positive outlook on life will make you happier, healthier, and improve your quality of your life. It makes you unstoppable, and a community of unstoppable people are strong. We are committed to educate, motivate, and inspire our members to lead more fulfilling lives. We are dedicated to promoting wellness and a sense of optimism that will strengthen our families and be an asset to the community. We will strive for an atmosphere of hope, confidence, positivity, and encouragement of all. Strongsville Rec Information/Tips/Tricks and Hints Information/Tips/Tricks Strongsville Rec

Your core is at the center of your body. It is comprised of the abdomen, hips, and back, and is made up of nearly thirty pairs of muscles. In addition, the core also includes the diaphragm, hip abductors, and gluteal muscles. Your pelvic floor musculature is also considered to be part of the core. All these muscles together are important for form, function, and strength of the entire body. Hav- ing a dependably strong core enhances quality of life for everyone! The benefits of having a strong core are often misunderstood. One of the biggest misconceptions people have is thinking that the term core is interchangeable for abs. While the abdominal muscles do make up a significant portion of the core, they are not the only important set muscles. If having a strong core is what you desire, focusing only on ab exercises will not provide a good end result. When all core muscles are trained to be strong, they will work in concert with each other, giving you the best functional strength possible. One of the main benefits of strengthening your core is increased balance and stability. Your core provides support to the spine and pelvis. This means better, more solid posture while walking, sitting, and standing. People with stronger core muscles tend to be better able to endure physical activity for longer periods of time without experiencing pain or stiffness. A more solid posture trans- lates into better, more efficient function of your body when it moves. Your body will experience less stress and strain, resulting in less chance of injury. There will be less jarring and compressive forces against your spinal column and joints, with the support that is present with a strong, supportive core. Since your core makes up the center of your body and encompasses the spinal column, all movements pass through it. A strong core consists of muscles that work together in coordination to stabilize and support your body. Having strong core stabilizers enables you to maximize strength in your arms and legs. Doing the Work To improve your core strength, you must do more than focus solely on ab exercises. Incorporate exercises that target multiple muscle groups into your daily fitness plan. Doing exercises that work your whole core is a great way to tone your body while increasing your overall health and fitness. Strengthening your core will have a tremendous impact on how you move and feel. Start incorporating some of these exercises in your training routine. If you have questions about how to get started, talk to a personal trainer. Their help can be invaluable. Strongsville Rec Information/Tips/Tricks and Hints Information/Tips/Tricks Strongsville Rec

Here are some suggestions of total body exercises that will attack the core: • Planks • Kettlebell Swings • Squats with Overhead Press • V-Ups • Push-Ups • Bridges • Hip-Lifts • Superman • Squats • Deadlifts
