Its primary role is anti-movement: resisting bending, twisting and extending.; Planks train anti-extension; side planks train anti-lateral-flexion.; Pallof presses and carries train anti-rotation.; Loaded carries train the whole system at once.; Crunches train one function of one muscle.; Breathing is part of it — the diaphragm is a core muscle.; Anti-extension — Plank; Anti-rotation — Pallof; Anti-lateral — Side plank; Carrying a heavy bag in one hand is an anti-lateral-flexion exercise you already do.. You cannot target fat loss to the abdomen. Visible abdominals are a body-fat outcome, not a training one.

Who is the The Core poster for?

The Core belongs to the Body & health section rather than to a school year, because health is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning movement can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the The Core poster?

The core's job is mostly to resist movement, not to produce it. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so The Core belongs on the wall where that health work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with The Core?
