The body's core muscles, lying deep within the torso, are the foundation for all movement.  They stabilize the spine and provide a solid foundation for movement in the extremities.   This free class will introduce several exercises that are the building blocks for core muscle strength and coordination.  Training the muscles of the core corrects postural imbalances that can lead to injuries and help develop functional fitness - that is, fitness that is essential to both daily living and regular activities.   No registration is necessary. HEALTHLINK PLUS FREE MEMBERSHIP IS REQUIRED.  For more information, call Erlanger's HealthLink at (423) 778-LINK (5465).
