Core

The following is an excerpt from my article “Hardcore Summer,” under the article section of my website.

“The core is essentially the area under your sternum to just below your butt (front and back). Your core is your power, responsible for almost all movements you perform daily. When one part is weak, other areas have to compensate for its work which puts you at greater risk for injury. Why work only part of it?

The following are the major muscles of the core:
• Abdominal muscles (Rectus Abdominis, Transverse Abdominis, Internal Abdominal Oblique and External Abdominal Oblique)
• Lower back muscles
• Glute (butt) muscles
• Muscles that are around and that stabilize the hips
• Deep inner muscles that support the spine”
