There are many benefits to building a strong abdominal core. Aside from looking great, building a strong core can help build a strong base for the rest of our body movements.

A strong core reduces the likelihood of injury, reduces the amount of existing pain, increases balance, increases energy, and improves posture.
​
The core consists of all the muscles in your abdominal and lower back areas. These muscles all work in harmony to provide stabilization for your body. Weak core muscles contribute to all kinds of problems in the body. The most prevalent of which is lower back pain.  By strengthening the muscles that help support the spine and improve posture, you can dramatically decrease the symptoms of lower back pain.
