Stability Training
Stability is dependent on structural strength and body management.
Regular precise performance of 4 for the Core and The Hip Stability
Drill form a foundation of good stability for physical performance. The
exercises in these drills may be performed prior to Conditioning Drill 1
during the warm–up and/or after cool–down. These drills may also
be performed separate from the regular training sessions as
supplemental training. DO NOT exceed 60 seconds for each 4 for the
Core exercise and perform NO MORE THAN 10 repetitions of Exercises
1 through 4 of The Hip Stability Drill. DO NOT EXCEED 60 seconds for
Exercise 5 of The Hip Stability Drill. If performance of more repetitions is
desired, don’t single out any one exercise to be repeated. Instead, repeat
each or both of these drills in their entirety.
4 FOR THE CORE
The abdomen, lower spine and pelvis comprise the trunk (core) of the
body. This area must be stable so the limbs have a fixed base from
which to create powerful movements. The abdominal and back muscles
form a supportive ring around the spine. You are only as strong as
your weakest link. So we must train all these muscles in a manner that
mimics their function. The commands for 4 for the Core are: “Starting
Position, MOVE”, “Ready, EXERCISE.” 4 for the Core exercises follow.
