Core as a power source
The same with mountain biking. A stable and strong core: (i) ensures good form(ii) delivers power to the
legs(iii) connects the legs to
other parts of the body.
Squat isn’t just about
driving from the
legs
Your form
would be bad if it was
So, you need to
drive from the
core

The Hard Part – Engaging the Core
Hollow or suck in your stomach Imagine pulling your belly button towards your
spineFix your lower back to its natural curveLock the position
Engage means connect to it and make it work

What do you need to think about when exercising?
Engaging the core – see previous slideBreathing – maintain breathing while the core
is engaged Target – focus on generating power from your
core Balance – focus on stability and balance as you
ride and exercise with an engaged core.

One more important point…
S-T-R-E-T-C-HYou’re young and still growing
Short and inflexible muscles have smaller range of motion and don’t
develop as much power
Long and flexible muscles have greater range of motion and make more power
