Core training has often been related to training your abs, looking for that six pack or toned tummy to hit the beach in the summer. Well, there is much more to core training than that, especially when it comes to athlete development.
In ‘Stronger Core Punch Harder – Part 2‘, we outlined the key fundamentals of core stabilisation (picture above).
