In this episode of Kettlebell Corner, hosts Jeremiah Waylon and Roger Parks delve into the intricacies of core training, discussing its importance, anatomy, and various training methods. They explore the concept of the core as the 'glue' of the body, the necessity of targeted core exercises, and the balance between stability and mobility in training. The conversation also touches on breathing techniques, the role of gravity in core exercises, and the significance of the spinal engine theory. Throughout the discussion, they share personal insights and favorite exercises, emphasizing that squats and deadlifts alone are insufficient for optimal core strength.
