Core Strength & Overall Health

TAKING ACTION:

✅ What’s your favorite core move?

This week, we’re chatting about why building a strong core is important for your overall health. The truth is that building strength is important for all of your body/muscles. We use different muscles for different activities, but at the end of the day, your core is arguably one of the most important to focus on. That’s because it acts as a girdle, support system, and shock absorber for the rest of your body. When your core muscles are weak, you overcompensate by using other muscles, and that can often cause injury and/or unnecessary pain. 💯

Something you may not have realized is just how many muscles we’re talking about when we’re referencing your core. We often think of our abdominal muscles and maybe our back muscles. But did you know there are many more?

👉 Abdominal (both deep and superficial)

👉 Back (both deep and superficial)

👉 Obliques (the sides of your stomach)

👉 Diaphragm (your breathing muscle at the top of your core)

👉 Pelvic floor muscles (make up the bottom of your core)

Your core is where all movement begins and is your center of gravity. Focusing on strengthening your core in its entirety will not only benefit your core but also the rest of your body, as well! 💯
