While some people are on a mission to build washboard abs, I am on a mission to build a stronger core. Why? Because our core is the powerhouse of our body; it helps us move more efficiently (and pain-free), can help reduce the likelihood of injuries, boost our posture and help us lift heavier – and I always like lifting heavier.
Being a fitness writer, I love trying crazy new challenges, whether that be training for my first HYROX having never run in my life, or doing 100 crunches every day for a week. As my core training had been lacking, I decided it was time to change that and take on a new challenge. So, I decided to reach out to CrossFit athlete and Fittest Woman in the UK, Aimee Cringle (who has the most insane core strength), to throw me together a killer core workout.
