Core training has worked hard to replace traditional abdominal training, and for good reason. While to some these terms may seem the same, abdominal training has been mainly associated with the rectus abdominus and external obliques, muscles you see with the sought-after "six-pack abs." However, core training is more comprehensive. Core training helps the body create more stability by challenging all the muscles of the core, not focusing only on the abs. Essentially, core training strengthens the body from the inside out, exercising the stabilizers (muscles deep, near the spine) as well as the movers (external muscles). Core training incorporates traditional ab training such as crunches and reverse crunches along with nontraditional exercises such as marching and planks.
