If you live or work in Pioneer Square, near Sodo, or the International District in Seattle, you now have a new option for high intensity workouts. Cue CrossFit just opened and of course Dre Fitness had to be there since we just love events that are fitness related.
Cue CrossFit Seattle Grand Opening which is by CenturyLink field.
Physical therapists and strength coaches are beginning to adopt the Pallof press for many of their clients. As a Personal Trainer, it’s imperative that my clients gain functional core strength for two reasons: progression and reducing risk of injury.
The core musculature includes, but is not limited to the abdominal muscles. Glutes, hip flexors, back muscles, and abdominal muscles should all contract in synergy for optimal effect.
Core strength can also be visually appealing.
So let’s take a look at the reasons why I like to include the Pallof Press.

This is a short introductory video on the Pallof Press… in the future I will produce a more detailed guide to performing the Pallof Press.
People who hit plateau’s may want to consider focusing on the core for a few weeks. With strong core muscles, you will be able to better activate the muscles throughout the lower body, torso, and extremities. And you’ll look good doing it.
