[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Core strength is one of the single best things you can do for your overall health. And yes, even without losing weight, having a strong core will make you carry the weight you have differently. I don't feel like this is a secret? This is a major reason behind the popularity of workouts like barre and pilates which tend not to be that aerobic (and thus don't burn as many calories as other things) but focus on core strength and stability. [/quote] "Core strength" yes, but that's not just ab strength. It has to be paired with back, pelvic floor and diaphragm (the four sides of the "core") or bad things happen. My postpartum PT told me she sees a lot of teenage girl runners who go to town with crunches, planks etc and end up incontinent. [/quote]
