Core Training, overlooked but vital for athletic development

Core Training for athletes may be one of the most important parts of the body to train. There are many misconceptions of what your core consist of.

These muscles stabilize the spine, pelvis and shoulder and provide a solid foundation for movement in the extremities. These muscles help control movements, transfer energy, shift body weight and move in any direction. A strong core distributes the stresses of weight-bearing and protects the back.
