The body's "core" refers to the muscles around the abdomen, pelvis, and back. This core is in the body's center of gravity. As a result, it plays a role in almost all activities. From sitting to standing, 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.
Ideally core strengthening exercises should be performed three times per week for maximum effectiveness.
