If you want to get fit and build muscle, it's worth dedicating some time to core-strengthening workouts. The core comprises the muscles at the center of the body, including the abdominals, the hips, and the lower back, all of which play a big role in day-to-day movement and exercise.

Developing core strength will not only make you stronger overall, allowing you to lift heavier, but it can also reduce lower-back pain and make daily activities such as walking, sitting, and carrying things easier.
