Most gym goers know that it’s important to train your core, a set of mid-body muscles that play a role in nearly all of your everyday movements. However, not everyone knows that these muscles can be divided into two different sets: your outer core muscles and your deep core muscles.
The outer core muscles sit closer to the surface of the skin and they help with things like spinal flexion and moving from side-to-side. Your deep core muscles help with balance and they also stabilize other muscles around them.
