In order to strength your core, you must know the muscles that consist of the core:
The National Academy of Sports Medicine defines the core as: The “Cervical Spine, thoracic Spine and the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex.”
Essentially the core consists of everything within your center of gravity, all areas of your abdominals, your back, your glutes, and beyond. Exercising these muscles means to exercise an area that is part of your core musculature. You can complete exercises such as:
- Bridging
- Leg Curl
- Planks
- Abdominal Roll-outs
The list will go on and on. Your focus should be to build a strong core and to do so smartly and effectively. If I can further assist, please let me know.
