core muscles
Core muscles are a group of muscles located in the abdomen, lower back, and pelvis. They include the rectus abdominis, obliques, transverse abdominis, and erector spinae. These muscles work together to stabilize the spine and pelvis, support posture, and enable movement.
Strengthening core muscles is important for overall fitness and injury prevention. A strong core helps improve balance and coordination, making everyday activities easier. Exercises like planks, crunches, and bridges can effectively target these muscles, enhancing both athletic performance and daily function.
