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?
Having just strained my Psoas muscle ... you can definitely add that to the list of important core muscles. Without a strong healthy Psoas, nearly every part of your stroke will be hampered. I blame the butterfly (combined with my less than perfect technique in the stroke) for the injury. But to be fair I am predisposed to this injury, and have had it multiple times in my life.
