When folks mention that they are doing a “core exercise”, typically they are talking about just working out their stomach muscles. But a core workout is so much more. When you are on a bike and your core muscles fail, you end up hunching your back, creating back strain and pinching off your ability to get a full breath. That is why Selene Yeager, aka the Fit Chick from Bicycling Magazine and my not so secret exercise chick crush, has put together this set of videos showing how to really exercise the core, from the stomach, back, hips, glutes, and thighs. This is a complete set of core exercises that will strengthen you into your next season.

The first video below is the kickoff video and found here: http://www.bicycling.com/fitcore/home.html
