Guter Artikel und sehr gute bildhafte Darstellung zur Körperhaltung - hier beim Swing - von Andrea U-Shi Chang / Dragondoor (Quellenangabe / Link: s.u.):
..........First, what is the meaning of the word CORE?
Is it six-pack abs? Nope! Surprisingly, I’ve had quite a few people
come through my studio, Kettlebility, that have amazing photo ready six
packs and no core at all! My working definition of CORE: the area
from your collar bones to your pelvis, which includes the front, sides
and back, all working together synergistically. Think cylinder.
Second, what does this cylinder do when we Swing, Get Up, and Goblet Squat, or run for that matter? It stays architecturally intact. Arms and legs get to move, but the basic form of your cylinder does not.
Most importantly, what does this have to do with passing the HKC? The answer is simple, most people fail because they are unable to keep the integrity of their cylinder architecturally sound; they need a STABLE CORE PLATFORM from which to move.
The STABLE CORE PLATFORM consists of a tall
neutral spine with lat, ab and glute engagement. Lat engagement packs
the shoulders and keeps the thoracic spine in slight extension, ab and
glute engagement keeps the lumbar spine in a neutral to slightly hollow
position and protected, perfect for ballistics and grinds. Learning the
skill to hold this position during movement is essential for kettlebell
training.
Step one: Stand with
feet slightly wider than shoulder width, push the soles of your feet
evenly into the ground, pull your kneecaps up into your thighs,
contracting your quads.
Step two: Spiral the force of your body down into the ground, spreading the floor with your heels, firing your glutes.
Step three: Grab your
wrist with one hand behind your back, and push your wrists into the
small of your back and press hard, pulling your elbows to the ground as
you push. You should feel your lats engage and your chest widen.
Step four: Hinge at
your hips into a deadlift stance, holding the position of your upper
body – your cylinder – in place without losing its integrity whilst
moving. Let your arms go loose, again without loosing the integrity of
your cylinder. Repeat until you can hold the architecture of your
cylinder in place throughout the movement.
