OUT of the pool

IN the pool

Core stability is a misunderstood term. Typically, the core is associated with the abdominal muscle groups and stability is associated with isometric or static strength.

However in actuality, the core consists of the abdominal muscle groups (transverse, internal obliques, external obliques, rectus abdominis), hip abductors/adductors, hip flexors and lumbar spine.

CORE STRENGTH + BODY AWARENESS
