It took me a long time to make this realization but the core of your body, your back and your abs, are the most important parts of your body to exercise. Like a lot of people I ignored it and concentrated on my arms and legs. If you think about it the core is like the trunk of a tree. How long do you think a tree that concentrated on its branches and ignored its core would stay standing? Conversely, how much stronger do you think the branches of that tree would get if the trunk or core itself was stronger?

Like I mentioned, I used to concentrate on specific body parts. However, I recently discovered what are referred to as compound exercises. These are exercises that work multiple muscle groups at the same time. This is how your body was designed to work in the first place and, because you are working multiple muscles the core comes into play to assist them.

One of my favorite exercises is the clean and jerk. To do this you stand straight over a bar bell and weight. Squat down and pick it up with the backs of your hands facing up. Keep your back straight, butt out and eyes forward and lift the bar to your hips. Now you are going to jerk it toward your chest in a reverse curl motion then lift it over head.
