Understanding the importance of core strength for stability and injury prevention

The core is more than just abs; it includes muscles around the midsection, supporting stability and movement. A strong core is essential for balance, power, and injury prevention in daily activities and sports. Traditional exercises like crunches focus on one muscle group, while planks engage the entire core. Variations of planks and dynamic movements enhance strength and mobility, making them effective for core training. Building a healthy core doesn't require long workouts. A few minutes of targeted exercises a few times a week can improve core strength and overall movement in daily life.
