Core

Core exercises focus on the band of muscle around your entire midsection; from the base of your rib cage to the top of your hipbone. Core muscles are the most important group of muscles in your body, as they tie your upper and lower body together for leverage and are utilized in almost every movement your body makes. A fit core is integral to balance and posture and is a system of support for many other muscle groups. Adding core exercises to your regular routine is essential to true fitness, which always involves a strong, toned midsection.
