Don't Skip the CORE!

If you get knocked down or fall can you continue the fight?

If your on the ground what muscle group do you think is most important? The act of "getting up" takes almost every muscle in the body. The core ties these muscles together, the stronger the your core the more efficient you can react in a downed situation. Think about a side crunch and the movement the officer in the above photo is making. What if he had to maintain weapon position and stand, his core would be doing 90% of the work.

Bridges and bicycle crunches are 2 very effective ways to train your abs. Don't skip the core, it is important!
