Core conditioning is not just about creating bikini-ready abs. It is about achieving functional fitness; being able to perform movements that are key to everyday living and normal physical activity. From a tennis stroke, to lifting a bag of groceries, to bending down to pet a dog, all of these actions engage your core muscles. Strengthening your core helps to improve your balance and stability. It can prevent lower back pain, and improve your posture. When the muscles in your core (pelvis, lower back, abdomen, and hips) are trained to work together in harmony, you will move more easily and feel better all day long. Those bikini-ready abs are an added benefit!
