The core consists of two primary muscle groups: the abdominal muscles (Abs) and the lower back muscles.
This area encompasses the lower part of the torso and plays a crucial role in stabilizing your body during various exercises.
Targeted exercises such as sit-ups, planks, twists, and back extensions effectively strengthen these muscle groups.
Enhancing core stability contributes to better overall performance and reduced injury risk.
