If you're interested in flat abs, you may be following the latest trend: core strength. Pilates and yoga are just two activities that focus on core training. Working your abs dynamically can make them stronger in all the activities you do each day.
What Is Core Training?
The purpose of core training is to strengthen the muscles that stabilize your body. Crunches only work your abs in one direction while targeting your rectus abdominis. That's fine, but what about your other ab muscles?
Core training involves keeping torso in place while taking your limbs through different movements (just like you do in real life). This allows you to work on the secret stabiliser muscles of your abs and back - something you don't get from plain old crunches.
Core Training:
Targets all muscles of your abs and back
Helps strengthen your muscles to better support your spine
Puts the focus on posture
Works on upper and lower back, hips, butt, inner and outer thighs and hamstrings...just to name a few
Exposes your weaknesses so you can work on them
Can help get rid of frequent back pain
