Why do I train core?
I train my core frequently because I believe the core is the foundation of my body. Think of it in this perspective, if the human body was constructed like a home the core would represent the foundation for the house. Hypothetically, let’s say you decide to neglect training the core, but you still decide to train everything else. This would be like to building an extravagant house on a weak foundation in marshland. My point is, training the abs/core will help develop the rest of your body and will greatly reduce overall changes of injury. So Try these listed core circuits for a well developed core!
