The Ashley Horner saga has probably taught us a lot about the "fitness industry" so I am a little cautious about guru worship when the whole thing is made of smoke and mirrors.
Please recommend either a Youtube channel or dvd series for core fitness.
I (or rather the wife has) swiss ball, swim stretch cordz and various elastic bands (the colored type)
I could probably rustle up some free weights also.
I prefer to follow along and the trainer road for core strength would be ideal.....
Me = AG 50-54 - doing tri for 20+ years - not done any core for *cough* a while
tks
I would be careful in your words of terming the fitness industry smoke and mirrors unless I interpreted it incorrectly. Same thing can be said about a lot of the stuff in the Triathlon industry, doesn't mean both do not have great coaches, content producers, etc.
That all said, here are some channels I would recommend. These people do have a strong resume as a fitness professional too if that helps for credibility.
Dave Schmitz
https://www.youtube.com/...BandTrainingWorkouts (If you want the bands they are fairly cheap, extremely versatile, and very beneficial for those limited on time/space
John Rusin
https://www.youtube.com/...7H-UyGCkn8P_dt3VkOUg He is language is a bit aggressive but that is the demographic he serves the most. Dude is super knowledgeable, has great results and gives great exercise demonstrations and tutorials.
Redefining Strength
https://www.youtube.com/...redefiningstrengthOC I am not a big fan of tons of variability in exercises and most cannot do the basics masterfully well and that is where 90% of gains come from. But if you want different challenges, and to add some variability this is good.
Kriss Hendy (Strength for Endurance)
https://www.youtube.com/...U0M2Sn38W2MdXl0Dc7zQ https://www.youtube.com/...FTrvKwQ7c87pRuTHlXKQ Kriss specializes with endurance athletes and has worked with some of the Aussie pros. Has two channels with lots of demonstrations.
I know ECFIT Boulder also has an app with the programs they use for many of their pros.
Enjoy
