Lisa Brashier, Professor of Kinesiology at LSC-CyFair, showed the class the importance of our body's core, especially for balance and flexibility. After a presentation on the core muscles, how they work and what they do for us, Lisa demonstrated a basic set of exercises we can do to strengthen our core; crunches, reverse crunches, ball crunches, oblique crossing over crunches, air bicycling, plank, butt lifts, and back extensions with ball.
