Mirinda Carfrae works on the core

The 2013 Ironman World Champion Mirinda Carfrae demonstrates her brand of strength training. Below is a FloTrack video showing Carfrae in the gym performing her strength routine, which emphasizes her core, rather than old school bench and military press, lat pull downs.


More recently the tiny Aussie stormed to a big win at the 2014 Datev Challenge Roth.

Working on the core isn't just another fad, we've seen this before. Back in 2010 we noticed Sebastian Kienle, Andreas Böcherer and Svenja Bazlen working on their core strength under the guidance of coach Lubos Bilek.
