Fitness instructors point out that it is essential to keep the core muscles — the muscles around your trunk and pelvis — in better shape. “Other than helping you attain a flat stomach or six/eight-pack abs, the primary function of core muscles is to provide stability to the spine. So, no matter what movement you do, like walking, running or lifting your arm, core muscles are essential,” he explains. Strong core muscles make most physical activities easier and are also important for athletes, such as runners. Akshay Kumar has emphasised on building core muscles by sharing his quirky workout activities on social media.
