Can you please tell me 3 long term issues that can arises form having a weak core

[@aaromotivestudio3869]

Can a weak core also make you easy to be pushed?

[@SolCoreTherapyFitness]

I like that you mentioned that your "core" won't just automatically turn on after sitting down all day.

[@thrace5134]

I sit for 12 hours at work it has wrecked my body. I have a crazy anterior tilt from super tight hip flexors and that has lead directly to lower back pain for years. The good news it I know this is the problem as demonstrated wonderfully in the video. The bad news is, it’s super hard to correct. I find that doing corrective exercises has made things worse at times. The muscles are too tight to release and can tear or strain in other areas of the core. Walking or light cardio to get warmed up then stretching or performing the corrective exercises gives the best results. If you do them cold you can hurt yourself as I have in the past. Good luck out there!

[@potrelviewer9536]

Not only do I have exactly what you described, Thrace, but I also have another condition which is that whenever I try to engage my core (for example on hip bridges), my lungs also switch off, and I can't lift my buttocks for even a few millimeters without having my head on the verge of turning to eggplant color. Being a wind musician, I always have learned to breathe mainly in the upper torse (lungs and thoracic cage), but never in the entirety of the belly. I'm seriously envisaging to enter a FRC (Functional Reeducation Center), and try to correct that unhealthy habit, otherwise I might spend the rest of my life bedridden...

[@lobserionia]

@@potrelviewer9536 Try to stand up with your feet when sitting or doing squad. Do it slowly not fast.

[@samwiseknows]

Do weighted hip thrusts and you will be amazed how quickly it fixes that tilt. Way better than all these combo exercises etc

[@Jetreynova]

Sounds like you might need to visit a chiropractor for alignments to help.

[@littlefrog8389]

You've just nailed my problem. I have anterior pelvic tilt, atrophy in glutes, collapsed arches which is also related to the weakness in those small muscles at the side of the glute, and constant pain in lower back which often spreads to shoulders and neck. I cannot do any kind of workout without being messed up for days afterward and not in a good, 'well-worked muscles' way. I end up twisted and tight. I'm so tired of being in pain. I think it happened when I developed severe SPD during pregnancy. I never could get back to the gym and now I'm just weak, particularly in my core. If I knew the best core workout to correct this, I'd do it every day.

[@littlefrog8389]

I'm gonna start with the anterior tilt exercises you linked to - thanks!

That's crazy what you said about the knot in my shoulder blade, stretching my neck, and clenching my jaw. I already knew I had awful core strength but I had no idea it contributed to all of that 😨This does make it far more motivating to work on my stability though

[@binaryglitch64]

@@GuerrillazenFitness easy from the perspective of someone who is starting out with a fit core... not that I have room to talk just that I understand how perspective works. I may not know the core strenth strugle but I know what it's like to strugle and have those who've never experienced that struggle but were blesed to start on top say that it's easy... I understand encuragement, but sometimes well intentioned words can still make people feel some typa way. (typa = type of, pronounced [type-uh] )

[@benicio1967]

I can’t tell you how relieved I am to have found this. You hear about core so often and don’t really worry about it very much. Now I’m realizing I’m at a crisis stage. Never even had a clue how essential and imperative a strong core was. I’m wondering if it’s even causing my breathing problems now. I’m actually scared. My entire core is dangerously weak. Worried I’m in a free fall decline now with no way back to health. Being bedridden isn’t far off for me. I really hope I can find some things I can do to strengthen and rebuild my core.

so i didn't flex my arm or crunch my toes and i didn't wobble but i couldn't sit down smoothly, like i kinda plop into the seat after i get too low.. does that mean my core is still weak?

[@Merryyy203]

I have anterior pelvic tilt -> weak core My abdomen is in tension most of the time but when I need it to work, it doesn't seem to engage enough My upper back hurts (very weak muscles + loads of knots) and I try to do exercises but I do not seem to be able to engage the core enough -> lower back hurts a bit I wish these were things we learn as children and not just wait until we are older and in pain... Oh, well, better late than never.

[@seerjedi4279]

SeerJedi What causes a weak core? I had a hysterectomy in 2012 and I haven’t been the same. My diaphragm feels restricted like I can’t breathe sometimes. I have stiffness like a belt is wrapped around ribs both front and back. I clench my jaw all the time, feel so stiff everywhere. Pains in back, ribs, calves, hamstrings hips and feet. Anterior pelvic tilt too. Is this all due to the hysterectomy? What specialist would I see?

OK there r so many other muscles or injuries that could prevent a good one leg sit and stand like that, like my arthritic knee for one. I mean if I can get on and sit on a 1000 pound horse walk trot and canter for an hour, rising trot no less which takes idk how much core strength, but can't do this exercise because of my knee... I think this is a really bad video to demonstrate core issues.
