The core muscles refers to the stomach muscles, sometimes called abs. These muscles have two main functions:

1) to spare the spine from excessive load, and

2) to transfer force from the lower body to the upper body and vice versa.

Having a strong, stable core helps us to prevent injuries and allows us to perform at our best. Core strengthening exercises train the muscles in your stomach to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular daily activities.Training your midsection can improve your workout form, stabilize your body, boost your athletic performance, increase everyday agility, and prevent injury.
