You may have heard the term and yet not know the details. Here, we break it down for you, with useful information and exercises designed to give you a strong core.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>First, what is the core? <\/strong>When people talk about the core, they\u2019re referring to the midsection of the body. This includes your front, rear, and sides and connects your body&#8217;s upper and lower regions. There are many muscles in your core, and the major muscle groups include:\n<ul>\n<li>The \u201c6 pack\u201d abdominal muscles known as rectus abdominis<\/li>\n<li>Pelvic floor muscles, which support your pelvic organs<\/li>\n<li>Internal and external obliques, the muscles on the sides of the abdomen<\/li>\n<li>Transverse abdominis, the deep, internal muscle that wraps around your sides and spine<\/li>\n<li>Multifidus muscles, small muscles that support the spine<\/li>\n<li>Erector spinae, muscles in your lower back<\/li>\n<li>Diaphragm, the muscle that supports your breathing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why is strengthening the core important?<\/strong> Building strength and stability in your midsection build better balance and posture and can even reduce back pain. The core is the center of all of your movement, and anything you do to make it stronger will benefit everything you do. Strengthening your core stabilizes your whole body, protects you from injury, and can even help you eliminate midsection fat. This kind of fat causes problems with your posture and can also put you at higher risk for health issues like diabetes and heart disease.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How can you build a strong core?<\/strong> We\u2019re glad you asked!
