Why should we care about our core strength?

As we women get older, it becomes even more important to keep keep our core muscles strong to support our lower back as well as to help prevent or manage back, hip and knee pain.

Having a strong core also helps our posture and our balance – so important as we get older!

 A strong core also helps us to breathe better by allowing us to open up our chest and front body.
