Have a look at the typical exercises most people include in their “core strength” routine at the gym, and you’ll usually see an over-abundance of the same old crunches, leg raises and sit ups being performed over and over again.
While there’s certainly nothing wrong with including these movements in your overall plan, it’s important to realize that your “core” extends far beyond just the surface level “six pack” muscles (technically referred to as the rectus abdominis) that most trainees are primarily concerned with developing.
The core is a highly complex set of muscles that basically includes everything except your arms and legs. This includes the transverse abdominus, pelvic floor muscles, multifidus, obliques, spinal erectors, diaphragm and the rectus abdominis, as well as a very long list of other deeper muscles.
