3 Reasons to Work ur Abs

  • Your Core is What Gives the Rest of Your Body Strength: I'll let you in on a secret...your 'core' is really what give you most of your strength...all over your body. Yep, that is right. Because your core, which includes both your abdominals and your lower-back muscles, is attached to your legs and arms, your body relies on it for every move we make. For example, if you swing a golf club, your core is working hard to twist your torso to allow you to take your swing...even more than your arms

  • Your Core is Your Tail and Whiskers: Do you know that cats use their tales and whiskers for balance? Guess what, you use your core in much the same way. Your core is what enables you to bend over without falling, as well as to jump and land on both of your feet. Further, if you kick a ball, your body is relying on your core to stabilize yourself as you stand on one leg and swing the other.

  • Your Core is Your Armour: Okay, it isn't made out of metal or bullet proof material, but your core sure does protect you from injury. Your core is instrumental in ensuring that you don't hurt yourself when you lift things or have to make sudden changes in movement.
