Although the thought of a bikini ready body may be all the incentive you need for working on your core, there are plenty of important reasons to have a strong midsection. In just 15 days and only 4 different exercises, you’ll be well on your way to a strong (and beautiful!) core!
You can think of your core muscles as the central link in a chain that connects your upper and lower body. Whether you’re holding a yoga pose or sweeping the floor, the necessary motions either originate in your core or move through it.
No matter where motion starts, it ripples upward and downward to adjoining links of the chain. This means that weak or inflexible core muscles can impair the function of your arms and legs. Properly strengthening and building your core muscles can mean increased power throughout your entire body, as well as improve balance and stability.
It’s pretty easy to see that a strong and flexible core is essential for overall movement and can be imperative to reaching your fitness goals!
