28 Oct The first step of strength exercises! Start with core exercis

‘Well-aging’ is gaining traction in our current era of 100-year life expectancy.
It’s becoming important for us to figure out how long we can keep our body functioning
and maintain it in a healthy state as the body naturally weakens due to aging.

Many experts highlight ‘strong core muscles’ as the first condition to well-aging.
When you strengthen your core muscles, it reduces pressure on the spinal disc, improving back pain.
It’s also easier to balance the body, reducing the risk of injury.

Core exercises are the most helpful for improving the quality of life than any other exercises.
Let’s find out more about core exercises with DRAX!

What are core muscles?

Core muscles refer to the muscles at the center of the body.
When the core muscles weaken, you can’t properly stabilize your spine, significantly damaging your body’s balance.
As the pillar of your body collapses, lifting things and bending your body becomes difficult. You may suffer from chronic back pain.

Many people think of planks, bird dogs, and dead bugs for core strengthening exercises.
But if you overdo planks, you may have a higher risk of back injury.
Once you damage your back, bringing it back to health is very difficult.
And the back plays an important role as the body’s center, so it’s important to exercise without feeling pain in the area.

DRAX will let you know how to strengthen your core while minimizing the pressure on your back.

Safe core exercises with DRAX exercise equipment

“Welliv Pro Abdominal, great for strengthening upper and lower abdomen”

DRAX Welliv Pro Abdominal is effective in strengthening your abs and core.
It strengthens your abdomen and back muscles, which are integral to your upper and lower body, to balance your body.

After positioning your back and hips as close as possible to the pad,
you can slowly go down to the maximum movement range while contracting your upper and lower abdomen simultaneously.
It’s similar to crunches (abdomen exercises), but the equipment stabilizes your posture,
helping you balance left and right relatively comfortably, making it easier for beginners to learn the posture.
Fitness experts can put additional weight to feel a stimulation you can’t feel with crunches.

The important step is to keep your back and hips as close as possible to the pad.
When there’s a space between the equipment and the body, your arms and legs will need to exert more force, reducing exercise efficiency.

For DRAX Welliv Pro Abdominal, you can adjust the rotational axis to various angles.
Once you adjust the upper angle to your back, you can strengthen your back with big extension movements.
It’s an all-around core exercise equipment that can strengthen your abs and back muscles.
It also has a counterbalance system to prevent injuries, so you can exercise with assurance.

“Welliv Pro Rotary Torso, effective in developing internal/external oblique muscles”

DRAX Welliv Pro Rotary Torso effectively develops internal and external oblique muscles.
Internal and external oblique muscles are muscular issues on your side that help stabilizes your core.
They’re known as rotational body muscles.

For the Rotary Torso, you need to be in a proper posture without leaning your upper body to the front or tilting your body to one side.
The chair can rotate 180 degrees, giving stimulation on both sides alternately.

Unlike ordinary products, you can firmly stabilize the top pelvis to the thighs with DRAX Welliv Pro Rotary Torso, maximizing the exercise effect.
Like the Abdominal, it has a counterbalance system that reduces initial resistance to prevent injury,
making it safer for the experienced and easier for beginners to exercise.

“Back Extension, developing erector spinae muscles to stabilize the core”

DRAX Back Extension is effective in developing erector spinae muscles.
The erector spinae muscles are involved in bending and opening the spine along with the abdominal oblique muscles,
which are important to stabilizing the core.

DRAX Back Extension allows users to engage safely in high-intensity exercises.
You can fix your lower body firmly on the seat, which reduces the risk of injury,
and adjust the weight precisely, which allows you to set an appropriate angle for your lumbar and thoracic vertebrae.
Therefore, beginners can exercise more safely, and the experienced can get stimulation on their erector spinae muscles at a higher intensity.

Weak core muscles can cause pain in your back even with a little exercise.
However, the space between the spine increases as core muscles grow, decreasing the pressure on the disc.
