Another Reason to Work Your Core

Tip of the Day:
If you strive to do a full sit-up but are not quite there yet, skip the "hold my feet down" method and try some slow eccentric strengthening. Start in a seated position with your knees bent. While keeping your feet flat on the ground lower your back down to the ground as slowly as you can. Then tuck your knees to your chest and rock yourself back up to the seated position for your next rep.

A client described to me yet another reason to work your core. She explained that since she has been working with me, particularly with core strengthening, she has not had any problems with.. um.. "leakage." Apparently, especially for the female population, this a concern as you get older. Maintain muscular control through regular exercise and you'll never have to worry about sneezing or laughing too hard again.
