I'm hearing alot about working the core muscles. When i ask my coach to define them, she vaguely motions to her hips and stomach.
What are the core body muscles?
Why are they getting so much attention, recently?
Core muscles are all those inner ones on your torso - these are most important in swimming because we are in a liquid, moving medium - water - and not pushing against something solid. Strong stabilizing core muscles are needed as you attempt to anchor your arm and hand in the water and pull your body over it.
