I've often heard the term "engaging the core" when skiing, but never heard it so well explained as in this video. Many thanks for making this available on KZread!

Thank you for the good words!

I've heard one or two experienced skiers taking about 'engaging the core' but I took this to mean tense your abs, which ends up as tense shoulders, tense arme etc ... Your explanation is much better in terms of lifting the core and pulling it back towards the spine whilst still maintaining smooth breathing control. Sounds very similar to what the other commenter Scott said about yoga. I will give it a try in everyday activities and maybe try it in skiing when I go in Feb. I like the idea of controlled core and loose extremities for maintaining balance. Thanks for posting.

Nov. 2019, I watched this. Very interesting concept. I am a chiropractor and completely understand what He is talking about. Great explanation. Merci JF.

This is priceless, basically what you do is you hold the fart.

JF after all these years I have come to understand the brilliance of this video. In recent body work due to some serious injuries, the other key thing about the kinesiology here is by engaging the pelvic floor through the process you describe is that we can activate and recruit on the little tiny muscles that actually connect from pelvis to the femur which will pull the head the femur into the hip socket with proper alignment and the result will improve our ability to manage our rotary effort in the leg :-) all the best my friend.

Just don’t Hexale, control the pelvic floor.

Great advice, but can we have this conversation on the chairlift and can we now go skiing? Explanation (once or twice), demonstration, practice...........please can we now practice? 😉🎿

Outstanding!

Great to see you publishing such a great techique material JF. Un abrazo, Javier

Thanks for your message! I will try to accumulate some footage in New Zealand this summer to upload some more!

excellent core Demo

In yoga we call this engaging your bandhas, specifically Mula Bandha which is where the perinium is and Uddiyana Bandha the abdomen just below the rib cage. This is done with breath and movement. Yoga practice would help to feel theses engagements.

Very interesting!

Holding your guts in place can give you courage to face the direction you want your momentum to take you. I use pole pushing to engage. my core and ollie to incite higher excitement. Then I can manipulate precise gauge pressure adjustment along the length of the ski effecting exclusion zone phase transition efficiency, I call it functionally understanding nature...F.U.N.

Hi JF - My instructor, Craig, recommended your videos to me and they are absolutely awesome, especially this one! My back hurts a little recently. It’s 4:55 in the morning and I cannot wait to give it a try! Just a quick question, you mentioned to exhale while steering - would that mean you breath faster in short turns than intermediate parallel turns? Do you adapt the pace of your breathing base on when you steer?

Buen trabajo chavalon ya era hora

Many thanks. I am now going to make my warm up run javelin turns while holding the fart in .

Did I hear the phrase "hold a fart" at the 1:57 mark?
