The Truth About Core Training

A simple guide to understanding core and pelvic floor function and dysfunction.

What if you were told you could work your core just by better breathing, that correcting your posture is the first step to having a flat belly, or that improving your urinary incontinence or

prolapse symptoms can involve breathing better and correcting your posture?

The Truth About Core Training is the book that everyone should read. With a holistic

perspective, it explains in an easy-to-understand way how concepts such as intra-abdominal pressure, muscle tone versus muscle strength, breathing patterns or posture play an essential role in maintaining your core integrity and how by training your core smarter, you can prevent and manage conditions such as stress urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and

abdominal diastasis, the most common pelvic conditions women suffer, and also disk, groin and abdominal hernias, more frequent amongst men.

The book explains the aspects involved in core functionality and presents simple exercises to build your core foundation. The last chapters introduce you to the hypopressive technique, an innovative core training system that encompasses the principles of core functionality through breathing and postural therapy, as well as myofascial and neurodynamic release through

a sequence of poses and moves performed along with a unique breathing pattern.

It is an empowering book that gives you, once and for all, the knowledge you need about your core and pelvic floor to train smarter without having to perform a never-ending list of crunches, planks and pelvic floor clenching exercises that work these muscles in isolation.
