Your body's core consists of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex, thoracic spine and cervical spine. THE CORE is your body's center of gravity. Many athletes have sufficient EXTREMITY STRENGTH (limbs), but few athletes display sufficient CORE STRENGTH. A stronger and more stable CORE, will maximize your EXTREMITY STRENGTH and POWER. Exercises such as ball crunches, back extensions, medicine ball exercises, hanging leg raises and bridges will strengthen the core.
