Every fitness freak works hard to improve the strength of their core and the reason behind this is not just the desire of that sculpted look but a lot more than that. Effectively training the core comes down to the three planes of motion: frontal, sagittal, transverse and requires the aspirant to put lots of efforts and stay dedicated.
If you have been dreaming of those ripped six-pack abs for long, but haven’t yet hit the gym because of lack of motivation, knowing these benefits will keep you motivated.

A better core lets you transfer more power to your limbs which impart more strength to your body to play any sport and also gives you more strength and energy to lift heavy weights.
Improves balance: According to experts, a stronger core keeps your torso in a more stable position, which helps you balance your movements efficiently. Exercises like planks or side planks are the best variation for this purpose.
Improves posture: The core is the central unit of our body; a stronger core improves your body posture by stabilising spine, pelvis, ribs and shoulders. An improved posture makes you look taller.
Makes you agile
According to a study published in the journal Kinesiology, performing core exercises in combination with instability exercises can help you become agile.
Reduces inflammation: According to studies, core intensive training reduces inflammation effect close to the result of Statin (Statin is a medicine that reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and even death from heart disease).
