Both Ab and Back Exercises are
Needed to Create a Great Core Workout

If you want to create the best core workout, you need both ab and back exercises.

When most people think about the core, their first thought is ab exercises, but ab exercises by themselves won't make a complete core workout. When you include lower back exercises and ab exercises in your workout, you will have a well rounded and balanced core.

Ab exercises help you to generate power moving forwards and prevent the spine from moving too far backwards.

Lower back exercises help you to generate power moving backwards and while lifting and prevent the spine from moving too far forwards.

The abdominal muscles and lower back muscles help to rotate and side bend the spine, and they both help to stabilize the lumbar spine and lower back.

So, if you really want well-rounded core workouts, think abs and back.
