Every-day motions are created by the ripple effect of muscles connecting your upper and lower body, originating in your core muscles, located deep within your trunk.
Core muscles extend from the base of your head to your pelvis and help coordinate movement to your arms, legs and spine. These muscles, if strong and stable, reduce your chance for injuries and contribute to balance, coordination and better posture.
Focus on your trunk and legs
In our third video, a Marshfield Clinic physical therapist will show you five basic core muscle exercises focusing on your legs, torso and butt. You can do these exercises at home or at work to tone and strengthen these important muscles.

Perform each exercise for 10-20 repetitions.Check out our Get More Core video series on Shine365. You can also view the playlist on Youtube
If you want to incorporate these core exercises into your fitness program or sports training, consider working with a trained instructor and begin slowly.
How do we contact the Bone and Joint Care Team. I do not see a contact number here and one does not come up in the clinic online phone directory. Are the trainers in Marshfield, and is anything covered under insurance with SHP?
thanks much,
Cindy
