Core

Core training is built on holds and flexion work that develop the abs and deep stabilizers for a stronger, more resilient midsection that protects your back. These guides cover the most effective core exercises — from the plank to the hanging leg raise — with what each one works and where it fits. Pick a movement to see the muscles it targets and how to use it.
