Another way to look at is everything that isn’t peripheral. When I think of what core training involves I block it as everything above mid thigh and everything below the shoulders (abdominals in the front, paraspinals and gluteals in the back, the diaphragm as the roof, and the pelvic floor and hip girdle musculature as the bottom, inside all of this there is 29 separate pairs of muscles that help stabilise the spine and pelvis (2)). You know that the core is way more than that. Which is fine, abs are cool, they look great and the 100% have a role to play in performance and aesthetics. When the average person thinks of “core” (which is actually a great term which has unfortunately been bastardised to the extent that it actively annoys me) it’s usually just abs on their mind. There is no way that I can make a real dent on the whole subject in one short post but hopefully I can elucidate you in some small way. It might be the most misunderstood structure in the body.
