P
eople often miss the importance of a strong, complete core. We’ve spent many years singling out one part of the whole system—the abs and, let’s face it, crunches can be boring. Much like the core of an apple, ours goes all the way around us. Let’s use our whole body to work on that core. Focusing on the core during these movements will not only increase your core strength, it will allow you to do more moves in better form, building strength in the areas you are training. Here are four movements that will incorporate the entire body focussing on these core-centric moves. Perform four sets. These movements are all done for time and can be performed with or without weights.
