The importance of a strong core

When you start to think of a strong core, you'll probably imagine someone doing hundreds of sit ups or planks to achieve it.
However, building up your core strength is about so much more than just physical appearance. In reality, it can help you perform everyday tasks with ease, in turn improving your overall quality of life and level of wellbeing. You use your core so much that it makes sense to strengthen it as much as is possible! Here's four of the main benefits of having a strong core.
 
1. It improves posture and balance
When all of your core muscles are stronger, particularly your inner core muscles, it helps you better keep yourself upright with good posture and balance. 
 
2. It makes everyday life much easier
Your core is the base of all the moves you make. So the stronger your core, the easier it is to perform everyday movements like bending down to pick something off the ground, standing for long periods of time, or doing chores around the house. 
 
3. It helps you age well
Core strength is important to develop and maintain throughout your life. It stabilizes your entire body and gives you better balance and posture, all of which can help prevent falls, decrease back pain, and keep you mobile as you get older.
 
4. It supports strength training 
A solid core sets the stage for success in strength training. A strong core means the ability to lift more weight. At its core (no pun intended) strong lifts require a great deal of stability and core strength to execute with proper form.
