Most people think core training means crunches and planks. Our Senior VP of Fitness, Layne Nordquist, sees it differently: “The strongest core isn’t the one that bends the most. It’s the one that knows when to move and when to stay rigid.”
His recent Yahoo Health feature explores why kneeling exercises deserve more attention in core training.
At VASA, we build our programming around that principle: strength first, coaches who teach you how to move well, and recovery to help you keep showing up.
We're proud to have Layne on our team. Read the article:
You've done planks, sit-ups, deadbugs and birddogs. Maybe you've even tried a hanging knee raise or a standing woodchop. But if you haven't tried kneeling core exercises, it may be time to add them to your routine.
