Press PLAY! 

     This is just two examples of how I strengthen my core throughout my training.  A strong core will help prevent injuries to the lower back which almost 80% of the population will experience at some time in their life.  The movements are slow and controlled to ensure that I am focusing on the correct muscle groups.

     The first exercise performed is known as the flag. I am raising and lowering the body while perched on my shoulders. My torso and legs form a straight line and there is very little movement at my hips. This exercise primarily focuses on my abs isometrically, meaning my abs are in full contraction throughout the exercise with little to no movement.  I then go into the exercise known as the corkscrew to engage my obliques. There is very little momentum utilized to ensure that I am breaking down the muscle effectively.

     The last exercise that I perform is the  back extension. I am focusing on muscles known as the erector spinae, glutes, and hamstrings. I am holding two 45 lb. plates and if you notice that my ears, shoulders, and hips are in line, resembling  perfect alignment.

     These exercises are advanced, but through practice and determination, progression has and will continue to take place.  I have had to make some tough shots in difficult positions throughout my hunting career and having the strength and flexibility in my core has allowed me to complete the job.  HUNT STRONG, TRAIN TO HUNT!
