Take a look at the first video in a four part series by George St. Pierre’s who shows you how he trains his core muscles.   This video show GPS talking about training his abdomens and his core. GSP goes on to talk about core training helps with take-downs, defense, and striking.

• First exercise is to warm up and work the lower back through hyper-extension rotations.
• Next, GSP switches to his abdomen and does the cycling crunches
• After the cycling crunches, GSP immediately goes into dumbbell bent over rows.
• St. Pierre then follows this up with some crunches on a balance ball.

Your core can either be your weakest link or an asset it just depends on how serious you take training them.  There is nothing like watching the best of the best doing it right and learning from it!
