CORE CONDITIONING FOR THE ENDURANCE ATHLETE:  Although a "six pack" set of abs may look good, they are no indication of endurance strength or functionality of your core. Two out of three adults will experience lower back problems from natural degenerative changes and 72% of triathletes report back pain. A weak core is an accident waiting to happen.

In this 90 minute workshop led by Paul Frediani, USAT Certified Coach and Author of "TRI POWER, Strength Training for Endurance Athletes", you will learn the basics of the anatomical structure of both the inner and outer core. We will access core strength and learn how to develop a proper core conditioning program consisting of three progressive phases: stabilization, strength and power. Attendees of this workshop will walk away with:

• An understanding of the importance of the core musculature
• Knowledge of the difference between the stabilization system and the movement system of the core.
• A personalized core conditioning program
