JAKARTA - Not infrequently someone is diligent in exercising, but forgets to practice the body's core muscles (core muscle). In fact, exercise in the body's core muscles is needed.

The body's core muscles include the muscles of the stomach, back muscles, and muscles around the panggk. If the body's core muscles are strong, then the body will be strong in carrying out physical activities without complaints.

"The core automate consists of a lot of muscles in the abdomen, hips, back, buttocks, to feet," said ACE-certified personal trainer and Simple Approach CEO Sean Alexander, quoted from Popsugar, on Thursday, September 4, 2025.

"Strengthening the weak body's core benefits can be very large," added the personal trainer and owner of the flagship Fitness in UK, Richard Wilcock, MS, CSCS.

Core muscles play an important role in supporting and stabilizing the spine and pelvis. If the core muscle is weak, it can cause various types of injuries, such as back pain to the problem of pelvic inequality.

By training the body's core muscles properly, it can relieve back pain. Strong core muscles will also make other exercise feel lighter.

"It can help relieve back pain, prevent us from slipping or falling, and make other sports feel easier. This is also an important reason for strengthening the core," continued Richard.

In training the body's core muscles, there are several movements that can be done regularly without using any tools. Some of these movements are plank, glutes bridges, to crunch.
