Core strength

Most of us want a flat stomach because it looks nice and makes us feel good. But a strong core supports the entire body and makes an active healthy lifestyle easier. Why? Because your core – is that – the core of your body and that is more important the how it looks. You can have a strong core without showing off six-packs abs.

Strong abdominals help support your back and your posture. Pilates is great for building strength in the deep abdominals. If you can’t get to a class here are some suggestions that can be done at home or in a few minutes at the end of gym session.

And if you are looking for the six-pack, it’s more than crunches, there has to be little fat around your stomach, which means a strict diet, focused on getting the best balance of macronutrients a lot of work in the gym and willpower!
