Fit to the Core

Core training can be defined as "any training focused at the central (trunk) region of the body, which includes the abdominal, hips, and back." Others refer to it as "the centralized or fundamental movement patterns from which all other movement patterns are derived."

Those Fabulous Abs

What is it about abs, anyway? Of course there’s the obvious appeal of a flat midsection. But what I can’t figure out is why all the confusion. So many of us want great abs but only a few are actually able to get them. Is it genetics? Miracle workouts? Fancy diets? Or maybe—just maybe—they’ve been informed about the proper abdominal training and found a strategy that works for them. I’d put my money on the latter.
