Three Ways to Recruit More Core and Pelvic Floor with Core-Tex Sit

You are already familiar with the Foundational Five sequence with Core-Tex Sit.  By introducing two simple, exercise "props", we can further enhance the value of these 5 moves.  We will also show you a brand-new core move that is done while sitting.  This exercise (and its associated challenge) is not something you can do anywhere else.  The patented motion of Core-Tex Sit will introduce a rotational challenge to your core and hips that provide incredibly unique benefits. 

When using your Core-Tex Sit for purposeful exercises for pelvic floor health, lower back care or integrating core training, adding these simple progressions can help you incrementally add more challenge and critical movement variability to your routine. By adding more movement variability with your Core-Tex Sit, your body is better prepared to apply the learning and strengthening on Core-Tex Sit to more of your daily activities and fitness related demands. 

We often see our Core-Tex family assume upright balance training on Core-Tex goes from two hands on the handrail to hands free and no use of the handrail.  In other words, going from the most help to the least help. This may lead to a misinterpretation of Core-Tex being "too advanced" and a missed opportunity to scale your balance progressions in a way that allows the user to be successful.
Core-Tex plays well with others.  With the increased interest and research around dual tasking of cognitive exercises plus motor challenges, Core-Tex is emerging as a clinical favorite for many reasons:
The study we are sharing with you in this post looked at strength training of 58 older women and 6 males under age 70 .  The comparison was strength training with vs. without the use of unstable surfaces.
