Camiron - Flow and Skate Wichita, Kansas

I’ve come to realize that no matter how often I practice a skate move, spins, sit spins, compass, ground work, etc, if i dont have a strong core/back i will only limit myself.

We want to reach our fullest potential, right?!

While i knew that for some years, I’ve honestly been a little lazy but also not knowing what core exercises to do. I was always stuck thinking i could only do planks and crunches.

More recently i listened to Rhonda Rousey interview on breakfast club. She shared, after giving birth she mainly only focused on rebuilding her core. By cementing core strength, she then was able to move on to strength building in other areas.

That was motivation for me.

I’ve had 3 kids and never solely focused on my core strength before jumping into weight training and such.

The past 3 weeks I’ve come up with special core workouts to complete Monday-Friday. Each day focuses on different core/back areas. While I haven’t completed each day consistently, it’s been more of twice a week. Shoot, this mama had to slowly break her body in for those areas.

Since focusing on core/back, I feel like my skate moves are more stable and comfortable. I’ve even surprised myself with sit spins at a decent speed.

I’m ecstatic for this continuous journey and looking forward to honing into fundamentals even more, inside and out of skates.

Hope this enlightened someone. ❤️
