When you stand, walk, lift or do any other activity, your core is working. Your core is a group of muscles that helps stabilize your body. Stronger core muscles can also help you recover faster after training or an injury by reducing your risk of re-injury. Challenging your core with exercises is an excellent way to improve strength and stability. A strong and stable core will also help you prevent injury in many sports and in everyday life.
