WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Your core includes the muscles from your shoulders to your hips, on the front and back sides of your body. The abdominals are just one section of your core!
WHY DOES IT MATTER?
A strong core can help prevent or reduce back pain, improve athletic performance, and improve posture. Plus, who doesn’t like the look of a tight and toned mid-section?
HOW DO I WORK MY ENTIRE CORE?

- Pilates improves core muscle endurance and flexibility, try a class!
- Crunches – but mix it up to work the front, sides and back of your core!
- Balance workouts – try TRX or the BOSU!
