4 Core Training Myths That Need to Die
In the world of fitness, nothing is more pervasive than a core training myth. The obsession with six-pack abs, the fear of back pain, and the desire for greater sport performance all drive us to hunt for the perfect core training exercise, programme, or overarching strategy.
The pursuit of core training greatness can cause us to eagerly adopt whatever core training myths we see online. Some of these are well-intentioned, but simply go too far in their application.

With this in mind, I’ll discuss some stubborn core training myths and explain where they miss the mark. This should steer you towards a better method of core training, no matter what your end goal is.
