NEW FOR 2011 Discover what stronger, more flexible core muscles can do for you A Special Health Report from Harvard Medical School Often, exercise programs spotlight arms, legs, and abdominal muscles, while paying little attention to many of the muscles that make up your body's core. Your core includes muscles in your back, side, hips, pelvis, and buttocks, as well as your abdominals. These muscles are critical to improving performance in almost any sport or activity, sidestepping debilitating back pain, and enhancing balance and stability.

All the exercises can be made easier or harder, depending on your current level of fitness, and these essential exercises can fit into even the busiest schedule. Before long, you'll notice gains you can see and feel every day. Make a core workout the core of your exercise program.
