They understand its importance in achieving and maintaining superior fitness. A strong and stable core improves athletic performance, increases power and endurance, reduces stress on the body and minimizes the chances of injury. It helps to improve balance and posture, alleviates back pain and minimizes fatigue. Even everyday actions are easier, whether climbing stairs or lifting a box or holding a baby. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The muscles most responsible for core stability run the length of the trunk and torso. They include the famous six pack abdominal muscles, the muscles that underlie the spinal column and neck and which help to rotate the back, the oblique muscles, and the muscles of the hips and thighs. Exercises designed specifically to address these muscles are the only way to build a stable core. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnatomy of Core Stability\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e features such exercises.
