Why have a strong core?
A strong core includes our abdominal muscles, muscles that wrap around our midsections, and the muscles that wrap around our back, including the ones around our spines. These muscles are important because they help us lift things . Not only do they help us lift objects, they also help us walkaround and move properly.
Why do people consider core development apart of ab workouts?
When people work their abs they are often striving to develop their core muscles. This is a good thing, but they must also be aware of where the rest of their strength and development can occur. There are so many advertisements and fitness tips that market a 6-pack or a chiseled core, but typically they're only referring to the stomach region.
