Core Challenge
Come learn with your child in this dynamic, 6-week intensive strengthening program for your child's trunk and body core.
Core Challenge is a new program at the Abilities Center designed for children ages 5 and older with trunk weakness that may be demonstrated through clumsiness, balance and coordination difficulties, and poor handwriting. Our children don't have to live with these problems; there is something we can do to help them improve!
Combined with a weekly home exercise program, your child's improved foundation for movement should carry over into fine motor skills such as handwriting, and into higher level gross motor skills such as ball sports, bike riding and rollerblading. Core Challenge exercises will vary each week, with a highlighted "Challenge of the Week" for specific practice and review in the subsequent section.
Core Challenge goals
- Improve trunk strength
- Improve balance
- Improve coordination, specifically with ball and jumping skills
- Improve fine motor skills through shoulder girdle stabilization
