Your Core Isn't Just Your Stomach

If you live on planet Earth you've undoubtedly heard your core referred to as your stomach. While it's not entirely false, it's far from the whole truth.

Your abs being your core is akin to a square being a rectangle. A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle isn't a square.

Your stomach region muscles are apart of your core but the "core" is bigger than that.

The midsection of your body, your trunk, from shoulders to hips is all the core. It's meant to denote that where your limbs connect is very important. It is. Your stomach isn't where your limbs connect. The entire trunk is.

Your hips, shoulders, chest, and back are all included in "core strength". Listen up for more!

Two tips:

If you can do 500 sit ups but your upper back is weak, you have a weak core.

Improving mobility of your hips will be as much, if not more, valuable than doing 500 sit ups.

.....

It's okay to do 500 sit ups btw. It's just apart of the equation, not the whole thing!
