Core vs Abs – The Difference?
I for one had a misconception around what’s working the “core” vs working the “abs”. What’s the difference? If you’re a yoga goer, often you’ll hear instructors disciplining the students “use your core” or your personal trainer would repeatedly remind you to “tuck in your core”. But what does it all mean?
So, what’s the difference?
In the language of anatomy, the core is a body construct that forms the abdominal, lower back, oblique and front & back pelvis region. Abs is known as your abdominal muscles and they are just one part of the core.
