Core Muscles

Your core is a group of muscles in the center of your body that often used in addition with other muscles for various activities. You can imagine then, the stronger your core, the harder you will be able to work other areas of your body over overall strength, balance and agility.

Unfortunately, the core has gone ignored for so long, mostly because working it alone will not produce overwhelmingly visible results. Signs of a strong core will come in the ease of completing other exercises or an increased sense of endurance in activity. Dancers and yoga participants especially practice core strengthening through all of their activity and often stay fit, have better posture, and are more agile than their peers.

Your core muscles include your abdomen, back, pelvis and hips. Core muscles often lay underneath other muscles (hence not being able to see a noticeable difference when doing core workouts).

In short, adding some core routine into your workout will benefit all other areas of your workout. A strong core will protect you from putting too much work on other muscles and prevent injury. Even better, most core exercises can be done at home with little or no equipment. Within the next few posts, I'll try to include a few sites or tips on exercises that will specifically strengthen your core, make sure to look for them!
