You've probably heard a thousand different things about core strength. From "abs are made in the kitchen" to "crunches are bad for you" to...really who knows what else?! Craig Hoffman and Chris Gorres get to the core of the issue, bad pun intended: what does it really take to have functional core strength to maximize your athleticism?

The guys talk about some of the key things to know, and the methods they use to accomplish them in the latest episode of the Train With The Best Podcast.
