Benefits Of Engaging Your Core All Day

Think of your bodies core as the central location that links your lower and upper body. No matter what kind of motion you are performing, the motions necessary will use your core muscles in one way or another. There are many benefits of engaging your core all day. You may not realize it but a lot of your daily activities are actually using your bodies core muscles. Engaging those core muscles daily offer many life long benefits that we can all use.

Increased Balance And Stability

A huge benefit to engaging your core all day is strengthening your overall body. Since the core is the key to all other movements, strengthening it can increase your bodies overall balance and stability. This is not only good for athletes but good for everyone. Increasing your balance and stability will make your daily tasks become easier.

Helps Prevent Injuries

Having a stronger midsection will help you avoid some of those painful injuries that you might have otherwise sustained. Having a solid core that you are engaging daily, will continue to strengthen your body as a whole and help you be able to avoid certain injuries.

Back Pain, Gone

Back pain is something that many people suffer from. One big reason for this is because they have a weaker core. As you begin to improve your bodies core, this will help your body to balance itself out better thus helping to relieve back pain. If you spend a lot of time in an office chair, try switching to a stability ball. This will help to engage your work while you are sitting.

Improved Posture

One day, have a friend take a picture of you from the side while you are standing normal. Chances are most of us have a slouch while we stand. This is bad for your body. Engaging your core will help to strengthen your body as whole and will help improve your bodies posture. This will help you to stand straighter which can help you to look taller and slimmer.

Here are a few easy ways that you can engage your core on a daily basis:

1. Laugh more. Laughing engages your core muscles. So enjoy all the funny things that life offers.
2. Use your front abdominal muscles to pull up on the front of your pelvis, then bear down a little in order to push your abdomen back out.
3. Use a stability ball while sitting. This is a great way to work on your core if you are required to sit for long periods of time.
