Why Is core strength important?

Because if you can’t hold yourself up then you’re gonna have to rely on something or someone else to do it for you!

I can’t stress enough how important core strength is. It acts as a stabilizer for our body, helps maintain proper posture as we age and reduces our risk for back injuries.

Oh yea, and they look amazing when they’re chiseled and glistening in the sun. But that, my friends, is the icing on the cake.

The cake itself should be the actual foundation of strength you’ve built.

To do this, you have to focus on functional strength training movements like woodchops, palloff press, deadbugs and planks to name a few.

Planks, one of the more popular core exercises, done on a stability ball.

Exercises that support your everyday activities and moves.

Because after all, what’s the point of having a 6 pack to show off on the gram if you can’t hold yourself upright long enough to take the pic?

My favorite core exercises right now are plank rocks, deadbugs and stirpots.

What are yours?
