I'm hearing alot about working the core muscles. When i ask my coach to define them, she vaguely motions to her hips and stomach.
What are the core body muscles?
Why are they getting so much attention, recently?
Thanks for that wonderful description Isobel! I had an hour and a half session with my massage therapist, and it turns out both my Psoas and my Rectus Abdominus were strained. But after a rehab week of long slow pulling with a pull buoy, couple with my massage therapist, I'm just about totally recovered and back to full-blown practices.
The Psoas is a pretty deep muscle, and I needed an expert guide to help me be able to find it and isolate it. Do a google search and click on some of the pictures that come up near the top -- they give a good view of where they are.
