KILLER CORE SEGMENT

The muscles that make up your CORE are 4 main muscles in the stomach that wrap like a belt around the midsection. These are:

• The rectus abdominis: One big sheet of muscle tissue that runs from your breastbone down to your pelvis.
• The external obliques: Run from your ribs to your hips in a forward direction.
• The internal obliques: Run from your ribs to your hips in a backwards direction
• The transverses abdominis: Located deep in your abs, underneath the obliques

But the core goes way beyond these four abdominal muscles, and includes the muscles of your lower back, your pelvic floor, and your hips. There are over 15 of these muscles, and they even include the diaphragm, a core breathing muscle!

When you put all these muscles together, they form the “core” of your body and the “core” of your movement patterns. In other words, if you bend down, pick up a weight and lift it overhead, each of these core muscles becomes involved.
