Core Strength Training at Home

The core muscle groups are located in the front and back of the abdomen, which not only protects the spine and organs but also maintains the stability of the body. A strong core muscle group plays an important role in keeping a good physical condition, maintaining overall body balance and improving exercise performance. Many movements in daily life, such as sitting, standing, walking and running, depend on the core muscle group. Strong core muscle groups will provide more supports for you in standing and sitting. In addition, it also helps correct your posture, avoid slouching and relieve back pain. A strong core keeps you fit, improves workout efficiency and builds up confidence.
