Core exercises

About core exercises [from NASM]:

Core training is critical for improving posture, enhancing performance, increasing resistance to injury, and accelerating injury rehabilitation. A properly designed core training program can be a key component of an overall training plan used to achieve a broad range of goals. The objective of core training is the development of core stability, endurance, strength, and power.

Core stability and core endurance refer to the ability of an individual to maintain proper spinal and hip posture while the extremities (i.e., arms and legs) are moving. Core strength refers to the ability to contract the torso in all directions (i.e., flexion, extension, rotation), and core power involves explosive movements of the core musculature.
