Feeling a little flabby? Overall weak? Have a sudden urge to do crunches? You need to work on your abs and your core. These are some of the most important places on your body to workout. And I have some great videos for you to easily work on them at home! But first, I want to share with you the importance of your abs and core.
First of all, what is the difference between your abs and your core? Your abs are the 6 muscles from your ribcage to your pelvis (hence the name 6-pack).
Your abs are very important for your posture because they help balance your back. Did you know that? So, guys with 6-packs have some of the best back postures! Working on your abs also helps to prevent lower back injuries. But not only are abs important for your back posture, they are important for your overall balance. Your abs also actually help your diaphragm with breathing. Take a deep breath…can you feel the muscles in your stomach area contract a bit? Those are your abs.
Your core is your body except for your head, arms, and legs. So, basically, from your collar bones down to your pelvis. Your core includes your abs. Because it includes your abs, working on your entire core will also help with your back posture and your balance. It will also help not only your everyday performance, but also your athletic performance in sports. It will also help to alleviate back pain.
So, let’s get started on working out your abs and core!
