We hear about the importance of strong core muscles all the time, but it never quite hits home until you stop and think what the muscles around your stomach and lower back really do.
I actually did a lot of yoga because I found it helped with my core strength and flexibility, which are two things you absolutely need when you're doing martial arts.
I've recently explored the beauty of doing sit-ups on those endurance balls. It adds a whole new dimension of difficult.
Yoga is at the core of my health and wellness routine; even if it's only for 10 to 15 minutes I find it helps me to re-center and to focus as well as improve my overall core strength.
I like sit-ups and ab exercises. I always want to keep my tummy flat and tight, even as I age. It keeps your back healthy and keeps you young.
I do a lot of core strengthening exercises and the plank push up is a great one that you can do anywhere and anytime.
I have a series of exercises in which I do a lot of core. I enjoy an ab workout. I practice every day and do many different types.
Your core is the center of your entire body - everything else is an extension - so you want to make sure you're strong in your entire core and not just part of it.
The core is the most important muscle group in your body. If your core is not strong, the rest of your body is weakened, too.
I make sure I do a lot of core work in my training.
