How to Build a Stronger Core from Home
Having a strong core is so important for a multitude of reasons. Weak core muscles can lead to negative side effects including more fatigue, less endurance, increased chance of muscle injuries, poor posture, and can lead to lower back pain. There are many reasons out there why a strong core is so important. Having a strong core can help to prevent injuries, alleviate lower back pain, improve posture, enhance overall performance, and help to make everyday life easier. This is especially important as you age because over time, if you don’t have regular core strength training, core muscle fibers can shrink and become less flexible. This can increase our susceptibility to injuries because the core muscles are the main support of the spine and if they are weak, we are more at risk of injuries. I am gonna give some of my favorite ways to help strengthen your core while being in the comfort of your home.
