What are core stability exercises?



The core muscles include the abdominal, spinal, pelvic floor and hip muscles which work together to provide stability in stationary and moving positions. They act as a corset around the trunk and are important as all other movements are generated from here. Core stability exercises are designed to improve the strength and efficiency of these muscles.
