Define the difference between Core and Abdominal training?

I would answer that it would be very limiting to only think of the abdominal muscles. ‘Core’ in my definition includes everything that is not an arm, a leg or the head. I also include the connective tissue (fascia) in the consideration in an attempt to balance the various myofascial lines (as in Thomas Myers’ “Anatomy Trains”) thorugh MELT techniques.
As Sara said, it is a good opportunity to educate the client about the benefits of this more holistic approach.
