Core muscles are the muscles that surround the abdominal, pelvis, and back regions. They include superficial muscles like the abdominals, spinal, buttocks and shoulder blade muscles and deep muscles within the back and pelvic floor as well as the diaphragm. These muscles provide an anchor for the arms and legs to move. They stabilize so that we can sit, crawl, stand, walk, jump, balance and MOVE! They are very important, as you can see!
