1. Improve athletic performance. Abdominal muscles play a pivotal role in all physical activities where you need to run fast or twist your torso.

2. Protect the spinal column and support the spine. Weak abdominal muscles and excess belly fat (adding weight to the front of your body) put your intervertebral discs in a very precarious position, increasing the risks for slipped discs and lumbar degeneration.

3. To relax tense muscles. For a number of people, during the night hours, the lumbar muscles can stay tense reflecting a long day of compression. That means upon wakening one often arises tired and with slight to moderate back pain. This is a sign that during sleep your spine did not relax and recuperate properly. A few minutes of core exercises before bed can aid in relaxing the lumbar muscles and releasing the pressure it is subjected to throughout the day.

4. Reduce the likelihood of several metabolic diseases like Type 2 Diabetes. Most of these diseases can be linked to excess belly fat.

5. Augmenting digestion. Efficient abdominal muscles help facilitate digestion helping to prevent constipation and bloating.
