What is Core Training?

Core training targets all of the muscles that stabilize the trunk. These
muscles work in unison to support each other. So when there are weak
muscles in your midsection, it causes an imbalance that forces the stronger
muscles to pick up the slack. For this reason, all of the muscles in your torso
and trunk must be equally strong to help the body perform efficiently. Some
of the benefits of core training include:


• increased athletic performance

• reduced, or eliminated back pain

• reduced risk of back injury

• better posture

• improved balance

• more efficient movements

• increased power in the limbs

• more efficient transfer of energy (such as when jumping)

The only way to truly strengthen the muscles in your core is to fire them up
with plenty of core training exercises. Sure, you can spend your hard-earned
dollars on a bunch of “core training” equipment. But the only muscles
infomercial doodads target are the ones used to dig in your wallet.

The truth is, you don’t need any of those ridiculous “seen on TV” gizmos to
strengthen your core. Most of them are a complete waste of money anyway.
With the right exercises, core strength can be attained without the use of
novelty equipment.

Now it’s time to look at some no-nonsense exercises you can use to
strengthen your core.
