Pop Quiz: the Core

Often times around the gym, as anywhere, terms with similar but different meanings begin to be used interchangeably, and eventually the definition of each becomes lost. Once that happens, two people can end up using the same term to express two totally different concepts. Or they may end up using two different terms when they're really discussing the same concept. This can result in frustrating miscommunication between clients and trainers, and even leave a client feeling like a personal goal is being unaddressed.

Such is the case with the "core strength" and "core stability." Just off the top, when you read those terms, you probably think you know what they mean, right? But think about them for another second. Are they the same thing? Are they related? How? Are you fairly sure you use the terms correctly when talking about your goals?

Today's Pop Quiz question asks:

What is the difference between core strength and core stability?

Looking forward to reading your responses.
I'll post the answer later in the week.
