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?
That is very interesting, because sometimes when I have a dropped hand, I feel as if it was pulled down by the opposite leg. Could it be actually pulled by a muscle or ligament between the hand and the opposite leg? :confused:
That is how you balance in dance positions, thinking of your right hand/arm connecting all the way to your left foot. I believe we are set up to walk oppositionally (arms swing in opposition to legs, right arm forward with left leg).*
*Unless you are like me, which means that when you are nervous you start to walk like Frankenstein, stiff in the shoulders and lurching right side (arm and leg) forward, then left, cetera. Wonder if I do this when swimming. Don't like to think about it.
