Fun Facts
Did you know your "core" stretches from your toes all the way up to your skull? If you really want to impact your core, focus on the entire body. The muscles of a balanced body know when to work and when not to work. Your abdominal muscles are just one piece of the whole puzzle!Egoscue Inc.
