Difference between Core exercises and other strength training exercises

Core training is different from normal strength training exercise. Core training concentrate on both your abdominal muscles and back muscles. It helps to provide better stability from your spine and also develop a good posture for daily activities. Strong core muscles will makes you stronger, flexible and increase your stability.

We use isometric training combined with repetitions and sets. Some core exercises require you to do workout based on duration.
