The core muscles are lightly defined around your spine, torso, pelvic area, hips, and the muscles that support these areas. Your primary core muscles are known to everyone as the erector spinae. Those muscles are the ones that are located just along the back of your spine. The next sets of muscles you may encounter are what medical personnel call the internal and external obliques.
You must be asking yourselfwhat is an oblique? Well, I will explain hereThey are the rigid muscles that run along the side of your abdomen; do you know what I am referring to? If you do, then you now know the stiff muscles I'm referring to are called your external obliques. They are the muscles that run along the outside of your torso. And if you have already guessed it, your internal obliques are the muscles located in the inner most part of your person. These are the muscles that cause your belly button to pull in toward your spinal column.
You did not know that, did you? Most people do not know that an actual muscle is a cause for your belly button being pulled in toward your back. They all believe you have your belly button, simply because of your umbilical cord at birth. Now that you know, you can utilize that muscle in your exercise regimen.

Did you know people who you see with a six pack include Pilates into their workout without actually realizing it? They are toning up their body, using a Pilates exercise as part as their daily routine to get the most out of there workout and strengthen their core muscles.
And for the last set of muscles being explained, is what people call the hip flexors.' These are the muscles located in your pelvic and upper leg (thigh) area. When you stretch, especially when utilizing the Thigh Stretch and the Dynamic Core Plank Series, it is targeting those muscles.
