Core Exercise

Wednesday May 14, 2008
The body's "core" refers to the muscles around the abdomen, pelvis and back. The core muscles are almost always active. From sitting to standing and walking to running, the core muscles are at work stabilizing our body from the force of gravity.

Weak core muscles make one more susceptible to poor posture, back pain and injuries during activity. For this reason, it is important to have strong core muscles.
