A Spokane Wedding: How strengthening your core can make your wedding day much more enjoyable.

Traditional Spokane wedding dresses are heavy. The fabric itself is heavy and often hot, and then you pile it on in layer after layer, add beading, lace and bows, and it can feel like it weighs a ton! Not only are you expected to walk gracefully in your Spokane wedding dress, but then you are supposed to dance in it without falling on your rear. They are so heavy that many women have taken to changing out of their Spokane Wedding Dress and into something a little more forgiving. You only get to wear this dress once (for the most part) so why not make sure you are strong enough to truly enjoy wearing it, and wear it through your Spokane Wedding Ceremony and your Spokane Wedding Reception?

How can strengthening my core help me wear my Spokane Wedding dress all day?

To be able to wear your Spokane Wedding dress throughout your ceremony and Spokane Wedding Reception, you need to build your core strength – the “core” actually consists of many different muscles that stabilize the spine and pelvis and run the entire length of the torso. These muscles stabilize the spine, pelvis and shoulder and provide a solid foundation for movement in the extremities. By making sure these muscles are fit and strong, you will ensure that your heavy Spokane wedding dress won’t wear you out and drag you down, and can help reduce back pain you may experience while wearing your Spokane Wedding Dress.

What is the best way to strengthen my core for my Spokane Wedding?

There are several exercises you can do to strengthen your core muscles, such as:

• - Abdominal Bracing - This is the main technique used during core exercise training. It refers to the contraction of the abdominal muscles. To correctly brace, you should attempt to pull your navel back in toward your spine. This action primarily recruits transverse abdominus. Be careful not to hold your breath – you should be able to breathe evenly while bracing.
  - Plank Exercise:
  - Side Plank Exercise:
  - The Basic Push Up
  - Back Bridge
  - Hip Lift
  - Russian Twists
  - Squats
  - V-sits
  - Lunges
  - Side Lunges
  - Back Extensions
  - Push Ups.

Other exercises that will help strengthen your core involve Spokane exercise equipment:

• - Medicine Balls
  - Kettlebells
  - Stability Balls
  - Balance Products such as the Bosu Ball, balance boards, wobble boards and others
  - Dumbbells

With all of these exercises, it would be very easy to harm yourself if you don’t execute them properly.
