core refers to the muscles around your mid torso. they affect your balance, back, abs, stamina, and flexibity. anything that works your back butt abs obliques chest hip flexors is good for your core.

it is important to keep yourself strong in your core, because your extremities depend on your core for support.

Maybe I should get you to go to the gym with me. The personal trainer at my fitness complex is a friend of mine from high school. He spends more time staring at spandex covered rears than he does giving me any guidance...lol

My workout pretty much consists of Zumba classes and weight machines...and no, I don't have a clue what I'm doing on most of the machines...*help* lol

So I'm guessing that a workout like body works plus abs would be good huh?? That's at 5:45 tonight maybe I can get there to try it, would be good for me. Still too tired to try any classes at the gym, don't know what is going on??
