Importance of a Strong Core

Whether you are a regular gym goer, or someone that trains at home from time to time, a well rounded fitness routine should include some basic core exercises (also see Essential Core Exercises For A Strong Foundation).

Core exercises improve your balance instability and help tone your abs. Yes, that is right as soon as you hear “core”, most people think of the abs. Yes your core includes your abs, but your core also involves the muscles in your pelvis, lower back hips and abdomen, to work in harmony. Performing regular core exercises lead to better balance and stability which is vital in daily activities, and of course in the gym or on the field. 

Core exercises don’t require specialised equipment nor a gym membership. Although the illustrative video shows the variety of court exercises using equipment, simple core exercises such as situp’s planks or exercise on a fitness ball are just as effective.
