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?

the "X" axis of movement, where right arm connects all the way down across the body to left leg, all governed by central power of psoas. Actually I might be making that part up but it seemed that all we talked about if we weren't dancing were the psoas and the X axis, and keeping those diagonals connected fingertip to toe. I think that could apply to swimming.
That is very interesting, because sometimes when I have a dropped hand, I feel as if it was pulled down by the opposite leg. Could it be actually pulled by a muscle or ligament between the hand and the opposite leg? :confused:
