Period 7 Weight Training Blog 4 Trunk Strength

Watch the video below, it discusses the trunk and it's many movements as well as the importance of being able to stabilize the trunk while we are moving.  So many times we think of our trunk or our core as just our abs, but there is a lot more involved than that.
I have been preaching the idea that we need to maintain a stable spine throughout our movements in this class.  This weeks blog will count as a summative assessment and you have a 50/50 shot of getting it right. Fill in the blank with either flexion or extension, be sure to include your name, I will not post the answer until next week.

Your spine is most stable when in __________. (flexion or extension)
