  • In Bird-Dog crunches, you talk of “activating your core muscles” first. What does tht mean? Sorry if that sounds like a silly question. I just feel that if one understands the principle behind what he/she is doing, it guarantees success. I really need to tighten my abs.

      Hi Angel

      You are absolutely right. It is good to understand the concept. The core muscles are comprised of the trunk and spine muscles that provide support and stabilization for all movements. Any time we twist, turn, bend over at the waist, or hold our body in one position for a long period of time, our core is at work. There are many exercises to activate your core muscles such as trunk rotation, lower abdominal cross, back twist and so on.

      I hope it helps!

      Have a nice day!
