"Fitness Ruined My Body" ─ Is it wrong to have deep muscles not involved in exercise?
Recently, I often hear the proper term "Core Exercise". As soon as a new exercise method or equipment is introduced, the ad slogans "strengthen your core muscles" or "exercise your core muscles can build a truly healthy body". But the actual trip to the fitness center is usually just to strengthen the abdominal muscles, not the core muscles.
Recently, I often hear the proper term "Core Exercise". As soon as a new exercise method or equipment is introduced, the ad slogans "strengthen your core muscles" or "exercise your core muscles can build a truly healthy body".
But the actual trip to the fitness center is usually just to strengthen the abdominal muscles, not the core muscles.
The core exercises discussed here should be seen as distinct from those that build a sculpted body, and the muscles involved are different.
Usually the core muscle group refers to a series of muscles from the bottom of the pelvis to the abdomen and waist. This muscle group is composed of upper and lower, anterior and posterior muscles in the middle of the body. Compared with muscles such as the Erector Spinae Muscle or the Rectus Abdominis Muscle, which are visible on the outside, the core muscles It is a deep muscle that cannot be seen from the outside, and its importance in health is gradually being recognized.
These deep muscles are directly attached to the spine and have the function of maintaining and strengthening the stability of the spine and pelvis. Therefore, even if the muscles look strong and fit, if the deep muscles are unhealthy, it is difficult to say that you have a strong waist
In the case of an unhealthy waist or a herniated intervertebral disc, if you do not do deep exercises, but blindly train the external muscles, it is tantamount to "gold and jade on the outside, but ruined in it".
If the deep muscles cannot perform their functions, they cannot maintain the stability of the intervertebral space, and a spine similar to the picture may appear, and in the most serious cases, diseases such as "disc herniation" that we often say will occur.
The core muscles act as trigger buttons in our body's activities. Suppose you want to raise your arms, which muscles in your body will work? If you have some knowledge of sports, you must answer that the muscles in the shoulders work, but it is interesting that the oblique muscles located deep in the abdomen are the first to contract.
This means that if you have shoulder pain problems, the transversus abdominis will not work when your shoulders move. It can also be explained the other way around: if the transversus abdominis does not work when you want to perform a certain movement, you will experience pain.
Someone may be exercising in order to build a healthy body, but if the deep muscles are not involved, it can be seen as the wrong exercise. Therefore, exercising with free weights or complex movements and compound exercises is more important than exercising only with exercise equipment or exercising with simple movements.
Then, how should the "core muscles", which are responsible for the balance and stability of the body, adjust the movements, and play an anterior role, exercise correctly?
