Your core is the center of your body. It includes your abs, hips, back, and chest. Your core helps stabilize your body and allow you to move in any direction while having proper balance. A strong core supports your body and allows your body to function properly. When these core muscles are weak or inflexible, it can impair how well your arms and legs function. It also saps your energy. Properly building up your core can increase your power and enhance balance and stability. With this strength, it can help prevent falls and injuries during sports or other activities. The truth is your core supports almost everything you do:
Bending to put on your shoes or picking up your baby, turning to look behind you, sitting in a chair all day, or simply standing while you cook dinner are some of the many routine actions that rely on your core. We often do not notice our core is weak until these mundane tasks become difficult or painful. Even basic activities of daily living like taking a shower or putting your shirt on rely on your core.
Many jobs involve tasks where you need to lift, twist, or stand and these movements depend on strong core muscles to be completed. But less obvious tasks, like sitting at your desk for eight hours, engage your core as well. Sitting all day, answering phone calls, typing, computer use, and similar duties can surprisingly make back muscles stiff and sore, especially if you don’t have good posture.
Low back pain is a common, often debilitating, problem that many Americans experience at some point in their lives. The good thing is it can be helped with exercises that promote well-balanced, strong core muscles. Core exercises are often prescribed to relieve back pain, along with medications, physical therapy, or other treatments if needed.
Almost all sports, from golfing and tennis to baseball and soccer are powered by a strong core. Other physical activities, including sexual activities, require core power and flexibility as well.
Your core stabilizes your body and allows you to move in any direction, even on the bumpiest terrain, or stand in one spot without losing your balance. Regularly exercising your core can lessen your risk of falling.
Weak core muscles have been shown to contribute to slouching. When you have good posture, it not only slims the look of your silhouette, it also projects confidence. More importantly, it reduces wear and tear on the spine and helps with your breathing.
