ABSTRACT
In recent times, core strength training and abdominal conditioning have been popular; however, the abdominal muscles are overrated when it comes down to real core strength and conditioning. We tend to focus on the abdominal area, but in fact, there are many other muscles in that region that are even more crucial. These muscles play many roles, like stabilising the spine and the pelvis, protecting the back, providing a firm base for physical movement, and making it possible to perform many different movements like standing up, transfer energy, or move in absolutely any direction. Realistically, when you look at all the possible movements you can do, the abdominal muscles have somewhat limited and specific actions. The exercises demonstrated in this chapter physically target all the core muscle groups while including the voice.
