From your rectus abdominis-the front ab muscles that give you that "flat belly" six-pack look-to the transverse abdominis, which are the deep "corseting" muscles that support your spine, and your obliques, aka your love handles, these core exercises will fire up your middle to help you move better and more safely. That's why we teamed up with Gozo to create this 30-day ab challenge. "When your low back overcompensates for movement, your hips and upper part of your spine lock up and get tight, then you are more prone to injury." "When your core is strong, you can focus on improving range of motion in your hips and the upper part of your back," says Betina Gozo, Nike master trainer and creator of STRONG with Betina Gozo: Total-Body Fitness In Under 20 Minutes. What are the muscles that make up your core?
It also includes your lower back and hips. Many people don't realize that the core is more than just the abdominal muscles, too. As a major muscle group, your core is command central for strength, helps you move your lower and upper body more effectively, and lowers your risk of injury. Whether you want to nix lower back pain or are dead set on losing belly fat, strengthening your core is a great place to start.
