The key to overall body fitness and conditioning is to have a strong 'core'. This area is more commonly known as the abdominal or abs for short. Having a thick, strong core will improve all aspects of your workouts. Your cardio will be supported with better posture and less cramping, while your weight lifting sessions will be more powerful and have the ability to adapt to more advanced exercises. Here are a couple of core routines to really jump start your overall body fitness goals, but don't forget, your core are muscles too. They need rest just like your other muscle groups.
