Core training is an essential part of any exercise program. The core includes the muscles of the hip, abdominals and back. These muscles make up the powerhouse of the body and are essential for all types of movements, balancing and injury prevention.

A component of core training involves training the body from the inside out resulting in better posture. Many of us have picked up bad postural habits through our work and daily activities.  With core training, functional exercises are used to re-educate the body system so that the muscles and joints function in harmony. Functional exercises are movement patterns that mimic natural movement and involve multiple muscle groups.
