Posted: August 19, 2015

Core exercises, when worked into your fitness routine, can help improve your core strength and stability. Core muscles connect your upper and lower body. Strengthening your core will help:
  • Improve movement and coordination of your arms, legs and spine.
  • Reduce your risk for injuries.
  • Improve your balance, posture and sports performance.
In our fifth and last video of the series, a Marshfield Clinic physical therapist will show you five core strengthening moves that focus on your arms, trunk, butt and legs. You can do these exercises at home or at work to tone and strengthen your core muscles. [embed title="get more core set number 5"]https://youtu.be/lLTjAVYTBB8[/embed]
