Check Out My New Toy: The Core X!

I attended a spine seminar in Los Angeles several weeks ago. Alex McKechnie, the Sports Performance Coach for the Los Angeles Lakers, gave a lecture on how he performs core stabilization using a device he invented, the Core X.

The Core X is a ingenious device made from two bungee cords attached to four velcro bands. These bands attach to your wrists and thighs, and the tension from the bands automatically causes your core area to fire and stabilize. In order to perform the exercises correctly, the body must resist torsion, load and shear forces.

Exercises can be performed in the functional position of standing, as well as on all fours, on your back and against a wall. Make sure to stay tuned, as I will be sharing exercises on how to use the system.
