If you woke this morning feeling sluggish, with a stiff lower back that made it hard to get out of bed
you may need to give extra attention to strengthening your core muscles
🌀What a “strong core” looks like varies from person to person. It’s entirely possible to have a body with high body fat but a strong core–or a neglected core despite having strong, toned arm & leg muscles‼️
🌀what determines the strength of your core is how you use it, not what it looks like. A strong core is essential to all age groups. A baby can’t turn over, sit up or take a first step without core strength.
🌀As we age core strengthening movements & exercises are often neglected leading to:
* more fatigue
*less endurance
*poor posture
*impaired balance
*lower back pain
*weak pelvic floor
