My Core Sequence, Part 3: Lower Body Figure Eights

This is a series of quick videos done to provide visual aid for My Core Sequence on my blog http://howtobeawesomeforfree.blogspot... My Core Sequence was developed by me. It's effective. More importantly, it's not sit-ups or crunches, which I refuse to do because they are boring. I grew up with salsa and bellydance, and this was a way for me to practice my movements. Over time, it evolved to be more of a training for dance than just dancing movements. The strong and even core that these kinds of motions build has helped me with posture, avoiding injury, and a lifetime of being the "little guy" in martial arts. As a small person, this has really helped me be strong enough for surviving grappling and for striking (without bouncing off).

Please don't judge my body or my methods. I had recently put on quite a bit of weight for the first time in my life and I'm still leaning back out. 25lbs lighter, I can assure you that my methods work. I'm much stronger than I look right now, so just trust me.

I know, this isn't the best technique I've ever performed, but I was in a hurry and without stretch, warm up, or time to do multiple takes. Please read the post associated with this video (http://howtobeawesomeforfree.blogspot.com/2010/12/my-core-sequence-part-3-lower­-body.html) before you comment or ask questions. Full written instructions are in the post. Good luck!

@miriamou Oh, thanks! These videos are actually just a quick visual for my blog readers. In the video description there is a link to my blog. I have a full core sequence explained in words and broken down into sections. Check it out and let me know if you still have any questions. I just finished it and will be uploading the last three videos today, so there should be plenty of stuff for you to tinker with if you're interested.

@MarriedaMonkey Thank you! Will check your blog out! I am also a dancer, but find the inverted hip circle hard :( But will stay positive and hopefully get it lol tc X

@miriamou You'll get it. That one is difficult for everyone. I still think about it and a couple others sometimes if I do them at speed. Try it from sitting. It will force you to not move the part that is on the chair. Side note: I have a modified core thing from sitting that's great for long car trips. Keeps your blood moving and keeps your back from hurting from just sagging in your carseat for hours. I'll give people time to get used to the movements before posting it, but it's on my list.
