Dec 7: Anti-core Strengthening

What are anti-core exercises? They are a series of exercises that are focused on preventing movement from the hips and spine. Why would you want to prevent motion? Well, the purpose of your core is to protect your spine and joints by resisting movement, not creating it. By doing this, creates a solid base for movement, and allows the body to effectively transfer force from the lower to the upper body, in turn producing more power but most importantly making the body more resilient to injury.
