The core is so much more than just a “six-pack abs;” it's your body’s power zone and the beginning of ALL movement.  The core includes the muscles of your shoulders, chest, abdomen, hips, pelvis and the upper and lower back muscles. A strong core helps your entire body work more efficiently and, as a benefit - reduces the risk of injury during exercise, sports and everyday activity.

Some of the advantages to having a well-planned core-strengthening program include:

• Reduction of current muscle imbalances which reduce the risk of injury
• Decreased pressure and strain on lower back during exercise or daily activity
• Proper and safe exercise for each individual
