Core Exercises

[stoop335]

Me and my chum are having a verbal disagreement. He claims that doing crunches is a core exercise. Although he may be right am i wrong to believe that core exercises refer to the Bench Press, Squats, ect.? I will much appriciate a fast response. Thankyou.

depends on your definition of "core". Core strength refers to your waist band like lower back and abs. your center.

i use the word core as like necasary and the core of my training ie bench presses, squats, deads.

so your both right

Core refers to the big compound movements, so yeah your right.

yeah... but your core (center of your body) like in the planets core... it refers to the mid section... and crunches dont really work your core... something that would work your core would be more like dragon flags/deadlift/situps.

Crunches work your abs.

Abs=midsection

Midsection=core

Bump, lowerback abs and obliques are your core.

just ask him what he meant when he said core, duh! don't bring the whole world into your squabbles. you are right if he meant core as in necessary, and he is right if he meant core as in midsection.
