They not only help build stronger abs but also strengthen the entire mid-section, improve sense of balance, promote better posture, and enhance agility while preventing back pain. It's a common perception that the core means only the abs, but it comprises other muscles too - like the hamstrings, glutes, hip abductors, trapezius (traps), and latissimus dorsi (lats). These muscles help you bend, hinge, lean, pivot, and balance better.
