Let me preface this by pointing out that this isn’t a silly 30-minute plank challenge, I personally find no use in that, but that’s another discussion for another day.

If you know anything about contact sports, you probably agree that having a strong mid-section is not a terrible thing. Core strength is a must in MMA and coaches and athletes all agree that your core cannot be too strong.
