Is the ability to do 300 sit-ups and minutes of plank-holds equivalent to having good ‘core strength’?
Not necessarily..
In sporting and gym communities ‘core exercises’ generally refers to any exercise targeting the area between your hips and ribs. Often the focus is on bracing and crunches, which certainly work to strengthen the outer layers of the abdominal muscles, however the deepest and arguably most important muscle, the transversus abdominis (TA), is often overlooked.
The role of the TA is to support the spine and hold your trunk stable while your limbs are moving. A strong TA allows your limbs to work far more efficiently and improves your coordination and endurance. For example, if you were trying to push somebody over, would you prefer to be standing on solid ground or on a fitball? You have a lot more strength and power when you have something stable under your feet, and the same is true for your legs and arms relationship with your ‘core’. If you watch somebody with poor core stability run, a lot of their energy is wasted on jolting, jarring, and rotation of the trunk rather than propulsion forwards. This also leads to earlier fatigue and can predispose you to injuries.
When we apply this to a history of back pain, or even an old knee problem which had temporarily altered the way you walk, your core stability is affected. If this is not specifically retrained, you put yourself at risk of future problems.
To exercise the TA you need to be aware of the ideal posture, a long spine with shoulder blades down and back and your chin in. It shouldn’t feel as though you are straining.
A great way to test it is to lie on your back with knees bent up, feet resting on the ground. Imagine there is a spirit level balancing across the front of your hip bones. Lift your right foot slightly and slowly extend your leg, hovering the foot above the ground, then gently bend back up to the starting position.
Repeat this for your left leg and pay attention to what your hips are doing. As you switch sides there should be minimal movement of the spirit level. If it is tipping, you probably need to focus a little more on balance and control in your routine rather than crunching out the 300 sit ups.
There are a great variety of TA exercises that can be prescribed for all levels of athletes. With the right knowledge it can also be worked into your usual routine, and greatly improve your game.

With soaring cliffs, cascading waterfalls, crystal clear pools and majestic old trees through which the sun dapples, Upper Tonquani is considered by many as the most beautiful and spectacular of all Magaliesberg kloofs.
Karien Bezuidenhout and Marzelle van der Merwe, both competitive female trail runners, decided to spend a weekend exploring this magical place. Seeing that the Tonquani complex stretches for kilometre after kilometre, going light and fast was their only option.
If you would like to visit Tonquani, contact the Mountain Club of South Africa (MCSA) Johannesburg section for more info.
Special thanks to AvantCom for sponsoring the Wenpod MD2 gimbal for the duration of the trip.

The Comrades champion, Charné Bosman (Nedbank Running Club), had just reason to smile after winning the Irene 48km ultra-race.
A year ago after she had finished the same race she was in despair as her foot was quite swollen and sore. Unbeknownst to her she had broken a toe and it was debatable whether she would recover in time to race the Comrades. Luckily she did and the rest is they say history.
Bosman who trains at the High Performance Centre did not really expect to win on Sunday. The Irene Ultra-race was just another good hard training run in which her focus was to emulate to perfection the way she planned to race Comrades.
“I did not taper down at all for the race. I started off with tired legs which were good as the second half of Comrades is usually a battle of mind over body. The temperature soared midway through the race which sapped once energy but again it did not bother me as it can get quite hot during the Comrades. It is important to get used to racing in such heat.”
Bosman won in 3:26:04. She has no plans to race again before Comrades. As last year she will do her final preparation for the “big day” at Graskop.
