Explain what the core muscles do and why it's important to have a strong set of core muscles.

Core muscles also contract to expel waste such as urine, feces, vomit, and deoxygenated air. They help with lifting, pushing, and giving birth. When you exercise core muscles, you also strengthen the muscles in your arms and legs and improve your overall strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, and coordination.

The core muscles have two main functions 1) to spare the spine from excessive load and 2) to transfer force from the lower body to the upper body and vice versa. Having a strong, stable core helps us to prevent injuries and allows us to perform at our best.
