Core strength training refers to a form of strength training. The so-called "core" is the middle link of the human body, that is, the area below the shoulder joint and above the hip joint including the pelvis. It is a whole formed by the waist, pelvis, and hip joints, and contains 29 muscles.
The core muscle group is responsible for stabilizing the center of gravity and transmitting power. It is the main link of the overall force. It plays a pivotal role in the movement and exertion of the upper and lower limbs. The powerful core muscle group stabilizes and supports the body posture, motor skills and special technical movements during exercise. Therefore, anyone with a graceful and upright posture, strong body control and balance, must have a well-trained core muscle group.
Core strength is the hub of the body's muscles, and it is the key to affecting the body's athletic ability. Today I mainly recommend 12 core strength training exercises for everyone. The heart is not as good as the action. After reading it, hurry up and practice!
