I love expanding my horizons and when I read a new expanded definition of the core, I was quite pleased. I generally think of the
core as the abs, pelvic floor and muscles on either side of the spine. According to
sports medicine specialist Vijay Vad the core is not limited to the area around your belly button, but is really everything between your "nipples and your knees."

How about those abs? If you are bored with your ab routine, or if you neglect your middle, here's a workout for you to try.
This video is made for you to play while you do the the exercise.

If your abdominal strengthening routine is feeling stale, why not put a twist on it?
This variation on the basic "sit-up" targets the
obliques. Try it at home or the gym soon and let us know what you think of it.
