Take It to the Core!
What are you doing for your core stability today? When we use the term “core stability” we are referring to the active recruitment of your deep core muscles. These muscles, different from the external muscles often associated with the venerable “Six-pack” abs (rectus abdominis, external/internal obliques), are used for strengthening the lower back, stabilizing the [...]
