One of the most important muscle groups in your bo

One of the most important muscle groups in your body - the core! 🙌
•

•
Protecting your spine, keeping your balance, and assisting in every movement your body makes, the abdominal muscles play a pivotal role in your overall performance. It's time for another Form Friday! 🤩

📚When people typically think about the core, they think of a "6-pack" when really, it is a multi-faceted system. The core is made up of 4 different muscle groups:
1: Rectus Abdominis
2: Internal Obliques
3: External Obliques
4: Transverse Abdominis
The key here is knowing how to bring them all together.

⭐️The sit-up is one of the most basic core-centered exercises, primarily emphasizing the rectus abdominis. The great part about the sit-up is that it has the potential to activate all core muscles at one time! Simply changing the direction you move can alter which muscle is being used.

💁When it comes to performing a sit-up, here are some fundamental rules you should follow:

- Keep your neck relaxed, especially as you bring your body off the ground
- Maintain a neutral spine during the entirety of the movement
- Lift with your belly-button (do NOT rely your arms for momentum)
- Make sure your low back maintains contact with the floor when in the downward phase - try not to arch your back

👏 If you are interested in learning more about proper form, adding variations to your program, or learning further variations in general (there are many), feel free to reach out to one of our wonderful trainers today! 👍

Putting in the work in and out of the gym, Andrew knows what it means to commit. 💪

Next, Krish Gullapalli has been doing private training sessions with Ally Hajjar at @ally_hajjarfitness consistently, twice a week, for almost a year!🏋️‍♀️She's dedicated and as a result, her physical strength has grown immensely over the past several months.

Lastly, we have Momchil! 🙌Client of Marjus Tarihaj @conquerhf, Momchil has reduced his weight by 10% in three months while having tons of fun along the way.

November 14th is World Diabetes Day and today we raise awareness and promote the importance of access to diabetic care on a global scale for the rising health concerns so many face. 🌎

✨What Is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a condition where the body has trouble breaking down the food we eat when it becomes sugar (glucose), causing the regulating hormone (insulin) in the pancreas to be impaired. The result is an abnormal metabolism and elevated blood glucose levels.🩸

Two of the most common forms of diabetes are Type I and Type II. Type I occurs when your pancreas stops producing insulin and Type II occurs when your body doesn't know how to use it properly.

✨How Do You Manage Diabetes?

Outside of traditional medications and treatments, one of the best ways to manage diabetes is, you guessed it - physical activity and exercise!🏃‍♀️ These are incredibly important when managing diabetes as they help to make sure your entire system is working correctly. This is especially important for Type II diabetes as someone's diagnosis is typically a result of obesity and inactivity. ⛹️‍♂️ 📺

Aerobic exercise 🧗, resistance training 🏋️, flexibility 🧘‍♀️, and balance ⚖️ each have different benefits to your overall health and wellness. The importance, however, is making sure you're staying consistently active throughout the week. At least every other day your body should be moving, focusing on larger muscle groups. By taking part in physical activity and exercise, you will see changes in your balance, agility, coordination, gait, strength, balance, and proprioception. 🙌

Simply improving your functional fitness will improve your quality of life while helping to manage diabetes as well as your longterm health. 💪👏
