Core Balance Training Exercises: A Deeper Dive
Core Balance Training (CBT) focuses on re-educating your body to move efficiently and effectively, with a strong emphasis on the often-neglected deep core muscles. While specific exercises can vary, here are some common elements you might find in a CBT program:
Core Engagement Exercises
* Pelvic tilts: These help you isolate and engage the deep core muscles.
* Diaphragmatic breathing: Focusing on deep, belly breathing helps coordinate core activation with respiration.
* Bracing exercises: These teach you to engage your core in a supportive manner, similar to how you would brace for an impact.
Movement Retraining Exercises
* Crawling patterns: These re-establish basic movement patterns and promote core stability.
* Weight shifting exercises: These help you learn to shift your weight efficiently without compromising core stability.
* Functional movements: Activities like squatting, lifting, and carrying are broken down and retaught with proper core engagement.
Postural Awareness Exercises
* Wall stands: These help improve posture and alignment by teaching you to distribute weight evenly through your feet and core.
* Foam rolling: This helps release tension in the muscles and improve flexibility, which can positively impact core function.
Additional Considerations
* Progression: CBT is a gradual process. Exercises start simple and progressively become more challenging as your core strength and control improve.
* Individualized approach: A qualified CBT practitioner can tailor the program to your specific needs and goals.
* Mind-body connection: CBT emphasizes the importance of being aware of your body and its movements.
Remember: The goal of CBT isn't just to strengthen your core but to retrain your body to move in a way that reduces strain and pain.

Persist: Movement

This is me. You are you. Let’s see what we can do together to bring more joy, peace, and wellness into our lives.

My name is Dee Hurlbert. I am a Personal Trainer and Certified Mindfulness Teacher and owner of Persist Movement and Mindfulness LLC. I spent the first 25-years of my career in physical and emotional health, education, and advocacy for vulnerable populations.

I specialize in training that focuses on stress and anxiety management and foundational fitness for those who feel that they unfamiliar with or uncomfortable in typical fitness settings.

I am also a Certified Mindfulness Teacher. I was trained by Cyndi Lee who is a yoga pioneer and founder of the legendary OM Yoga. She is a Buddhist Chaplain and student of Gelek Rimpoche.

Strength training for adults of all ages and fitness levels. Unlike heels, muscles are sexy and practical. I can help the dedicated competitive athlete and the grandfather who wants to be able to keeping fishing with his grandkids.

Mood-elevating, confidence building, stress reduction. People do not just turn to fitness to lose weight and because they want to feel better in their skin, and their life in general.

Sensitivity to the needs of persons who are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with traditional group fitness/gym environments. This includes those and those who have been chronically inactive, severely overweight, or in need of foundational conditioning. Release and consultation from medical providers will be required as needed.

Culturally responsive, gender-friendly, trauma-informed, fitness training for LGBTQIA+ folks, persons of color, religious minorities, immigrants, survivors of trauma, persons struggling with addiction, returning citizens, people with HIV and other stigmatized conditions, or experiences.

Irresistibly fun and social group fitness for weight loss, flexibility, and stamina. Exercise for body fat loss and endurance means getting sweaty, pushing your limits, and it is damn hard work! Training with others with similar goals and having FUN is the key to getting the most out of each workout and wanting to stay active.

Cultivating fitness autonomy and sustainability. Few people can afford a ‘life-long relationship’ with a personal trainer. I will kick your butt in all the right ways when we are together, and I will help you develop fitness resilience, educate you on practical goal setting and contingency planning, and help you explore a variety of options for movement. Call, email, or text me to discuss YOUR needs and interests. I provide free initial consultation. If I am not the best person to assist you, I will refer you to other trainers or programs.
