Posture and the Importance of the Core
When our parents told us to “stand up straight,” they were teaching us a valuable lesson in body mechanics. Our Center of gravity (COG) in the human body is located a couple of inches below the belly button and is slightly posterior. It is vital because it is the balance point of the body. Think of the center of gravity as the fulcrum of a teeter tooter. If there are irregular forces on the fulcrum, the lever arm or force must change to create balance. As in the example of the teeter tooter, if someone is heavier, they move toward the fulcrum to balance the weight, or the lighter person moves toward the end of the teeter tooter. Notice in the picture below that the points are distributed to balance along the COG line.

How Zumba Changed My Life
Let me tell you a little bit about myself, I am asthmatic and far from being the most athletic person, in fact, I lose my breath if I try to run to the dumpster to throw out my trash. I enjoy watching shows and movies, reading books, and am generally someone who enjoys being “cozy” over going to the gym. Despite all of this, I fell in love with Zumba! Yes I know what you’re thinking, the colourful leggings and Latin inspired music and dancing, the cult like following, there is a reason for it! And hey, wouldn’t we all love to rock something that bold?

The Best Flat Abs Moves for Men
Train for Flat Abs: Bicycle You want four to eight key moves in each workout. Be sure to target the upper and lower abs, the oblique muscles along your sides, and the back. The “bicycle” is one of the best. Lie on your back and “pedal” in the air. Raise one shoulder as if trying to touch the opposite knee. Repeat on the opposite side for two sets of 12 reps. Keep your elbows back, and your lower back on the floor.
