I don't know about you but core training is something I've been thinking about starting for ages now but just haven't got around to doing it yet. Whether your a cyclist, runner or indeed enjoy any sport that requires flexibility and aerobic routine, core training will improve strength, flexibility, breathing and will reduce the frequency of lower back pain.
The short clip below shows some of BMC's pro cyclists being put through the paces of core conditioning by strength and conditioning expert Todd Herriot.
I often suffer with lower back pain during long rides so was particularly interested when I saw this clip, especially when I saw how simple the routine was. I just need to get my arse into gear now and spend more time doing it myself.

static core workouts always look easy until you do them.. try a 1min plank at the end of an easy run.
I'll start doing that from now on. Thanks for the tip.
