Front Outer Core Muscles
Front Outer Core Muscles
This picture shows some of the core muscles in the front of your body. These muscles are layered over the deeper muscles of the inner core. There are also core muscle groups in the back and on the sides of your body.
The core muscles work together. When they contract at the same time, they help stabilize your spine and hips to create a strong foundation for movement of your body and to protect you from injury.
